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