Crab Dip Recipe ⇉ Artichoke and Crab Spread

I bought a similar spread at the grocery store a while back, and I thought that I could do it better and cheaper myself. You can use imitation crab, instead of the real thing if you like. I use cooked and frozen artichoke hearts or you can buy fresh artichokes, and cook the hearts up yourself.

Ingredients

• 3 frozen cooked artichoke hearts, thawed and quartered
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 4 ounces crabmeat
• 3 green onions
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Cooking Directions

1. Place artichoke hearts, crab, green onions, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse until chopped fairly small. Add cream cheese and puree until smooth.
2. Pour dip into a non-metallic bowl, and chill for 1 hour.
3. Serve with crackers or vegetables.
