Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 jalapeños (fresh or pickled, diced)
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: Rinse cranberries and chop jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat if desired). Dice green onions and chop cilantro.

- Chill and serve: Transfer to a serving dish and chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve with crackers, fresh veggies, or chips.
Notes
This dip can be made ahead of time and is best served chilled. Adjust the spiciness to your preference by modifying the amount of jalapeños.
