Crab Dip

This is good. Doesn't taste much like crab though. Mostly just cream cheese and salsa.

Creamy Mexican Crab Dip
12 oz light cream cheese
1 (6-ounce) can lump crabmeat, undrained
1/2 cup salsa

Place cheeses in a microwave-safe bowl, and cover with wax paper. Microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) 2 to 3 minutes or until softened, stirring with a wire whisk until smooth. Drain crabmeat through a sieve into a bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon liquid. Add reserved liquid, crabmeat, and salsa to cheese; stir well. Serve warm or at room temperature with baked tortilla chips, raw vegetables, or breadsticks.
