The article that I got this out of stated, "From my house, it's a two-hour drive to Beaverton, but I still go there at least once a month to have the crab dip at the Hall Street Grill. It's the best I've ever tasted." I couldn't agree more!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, room temp
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup (about 4 oz.) crabmeat, well drained
  • 1/4 cup pluse 2 Tbl. grated parmesean cheese
  • 3 Tbl. chopped drained marinated artichoke hearts from jar

  • 1 Tbl. finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Sherry wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce (Tabasco)
