This creamy blend of tender artichokes and sweet crab makes for a deliciously rich spread that's perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in. It’s easy to whip up and sure to impress your guests with every bite.
Start by adding the artichoke hearts, crab, green onions, garlic, and lemon juice to your food processor. Pulse everything a few times until the mixture is chopped into small pieces. Next, add the cream cheese and blend until it’s nice and smooth. Transfer the dip to a glass or ceramic bowl, cover it, and pop it in the fridge to chill for about an hour. Once it’s nicely chilled, serve it up with some crackers or fresh veggies for dipping. Enjoy!
