Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, allow the cream cheese to soften before mixing. You can substitute any nuts you prefer, such as pecans or walnuts, or omit them entirely for a nut-free version. If you want a little heat, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. Serve with crackers or veggie sticks for a great appetizer that pairs beautifully with Onion Swiss Dip.
