Directions

  3. Spoon the chunky salsa over the cream cheese, spreading it to cover the surface while leaving some cheese visible around the edges for a layered effect.
  4. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired for a pop of color and freshness.
  5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or crackers.
