I cannot think of an occasion where I don’t love to see a cheese plate. There is nothing better — or more simple — than setting out a variety of cheese and pairing it with some crackers, nuts, and/or dried fruit. But as good as that is, I find it really elevates the whole thing to pair it with a simple spread like this. One that uses wallet-friendly cream cheese, comes together in mere minutes, and balances so many bright and vibrant flavors. This spread is easy to make and it goes a long way, which is great news because it sure is a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients
