This sauce is fantastic. The only change I made was using hot sauce instead of salsa. I served it with Crab Cakes Chiarello (also found on this site). Everyone loved it and asked me to make them again the next day.

Perfect sauce. Easy to prepare and can store in frig for a few days if you are lucky enough to have leftover crabcakes!

This came out VERY delicious! It seemed to bring out the sweetness in the crab. It was also good on chips! (to use as a chip dip I would add a little bit more salsa). Thank you!

I found this recipe to be a little bland and it makes way too much. I prefer to use sauces sparingly as they should complement a dish, not smother it! If I were to use this recipe again, I would half the mayonaise and sour cream. I already omitted the yogurt. I would also increase the salsa to a half cup and double the lemon juice. Add a little salt to counter the sweetness inheirent in the other ingredients. Sometimes sauces become stronger as they set. I did not find this to be the case as the dairy based products contain the hotness. Therefore, increase the heat to taste when mixing by adding drops of hot sauce. The recipe did set-up nicely in the refrigerator.

A very nice sauce that goes well with all types of seafood. Could be improved with a herb such as tarragon, dill or fresh basil, depending on the context.

Taste is great, nice kick. Beware, this says serves 12. I'd say more like serves 30+. I prepared this with a mini crab cakes recipe (makes 25 minis) and we didn't even use half of it (despite everyone loving it). Sauce is runny even after refrigeration. Not a big deal but next time I might try to concoct a modification to thicken it a bit.

Very delicious! The salsa made the sauce a bit spicy, and I put a little extra salsa since I like spicy food. Blending the sauce makes it so creamy! I love it!

didn't have cottage cheese or yogurt, skipped it and added garlic powder. Good!

Loved this! My honey craves and raves about "that crab sauce you made" However, I modified it and only use sour cream, our favorite jar of salsa and creamy horseradish for kick. YUMMY!
