Yum, Yum, Yum, this dip is so easy and so good! Loved the combination of flavours! I made my own salsa choosing a medium heat level and thought that went really well with the olives and cheddar. Hot would also have been good, though. :)<br/>I ate this with crackers, which was addictive, but I think it would also be good with crudites.<br/>While I like all things cheesy, I only needed 1/2 the amount stated to make a generous topping.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Suzy_Q!<br/>Made and reviewed on recommendation of Boomette June 2011.

As you see on my photo, I made it for 1 serving cause I only had 4 ounces of cream cheese. We were 2 eating it with pita chips. I used mild salsa but we'll try with spicy salsa another time. Since my cream cheese was cold, I spread it in my bowl and microwaved it for 40 seconds to spread it better and to make it softer. Thanks Suzy :) Made for PAC Spring 2010
