Fresh Cranberry Salsa With Cream Cheese Dip

Need something quick, inexpensive, and delicious to serve at your Holiday Parties or Holiday Meals?  Give this dip recipe a try.  Not only is it very flavorful, it is very festive looking.  The colors of the ingredients just pop.

I found this recipe on the "Our Best Bites" website.    I modified the recipe slightly.  I did not use all the onions they suggested.  I used 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup.  I am not a big fan of lots of onions in dip.  Just enough for flavor.  I also upped the salt by 1/4 teaspoon.  The recipe says to chill for at least two hours.  I found the longer the salsa chilled the flavors blended together nicely.

Finally just spread some cream cheese on a plate, top with your chilled salsa and your dip is ready. Serve with crackers and  Enjoy:)

Yes, there is cream cheese under the salsa
