How to Make Coconut Crab Dib

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup cooked crab meat (picked and flaked), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  2. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to chill completely.
  4. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tang, soy sauce for saltiness, or red pepper flakes for heat.
  5. Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, melba toast, or vegetable sticks.
