I have always enjoyed my hot crab dip in the past, but was in the mood for more of a cold, tangy spread. For this one, I start with a creamy, spreadable cheese layer, top it with seasoned crab meat, then top that with a layer of keto cocktail sauce. This layered crab spread was just the ticket, and easy to make too.
