Author Notes

This dip right here, this is the sort of dip that you set out at a party, then turn away for a few minutes to go grab a refill, and when you return… it’s gone. This is just what happens when you combine tangy Crazy Feta with gooey cheese and lump crab meat. It’s inevitable. It’s time to embrace it. —CAVA

Old Bay "Za'atar" is such a good idea!
