The Super Bowl is an event that brings people together, and food plays a central role in the festivities. A Cream Cheese and Salsa Dip has been suggested as a simple yet flavorful addition to any game day spread. The recipe, shared by Blain’s Farm & Fleet, outlines an easy method for preparation.

To create this dip, start with an 8 oz. block of cream cheese placed on a serving plate. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for easier spreading and scooping. Season the cream cheese with 1 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Rustic Pantry Rosemary & Garlic Rub, depending on spice preference.

Next, pour or spoon Rustic Pantry Peach Salsa over the seasoned cream cheese for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve the dip alongside crackers, tortilla chips, bread, or sliced vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots for healthier options.

For those looking to enhance the dip further: "Add a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier dip." Alternatively, experimenting with different salsa flavors such as mango lime or cherry can provide unique variations. Fresh herbs like chives or cilantro can also be mixed in for extra flavor.

This Cream Cheese and Salsa Dip offers an effortless appetizer choice that promises to be popular at Super Bowl parties or any gathering seeking something distinctive.
