I like this....I used more of everything execpt the onion....and I just used what I had on hand seafood wise....flake imitation crab and some delicious jumbo shrimp. I also chilled mine for 2 hours and served with french bread or crackers. Will try doing half fat-free cream cheese next time.

This was a hit at the appetizer party I went to. However I added more crab, more lemon juice, and added chive for color as well as more parsely. I just wanted it chunkier. It made a lot too! I had about 12 people at the party and I brought home some and I had already left some at home. I also used fat free cream cheese and it was awesome!!
