This is very easy to make and really good. As suggested by another reviewer, I used red onions and the lower fat cream cheese. Everyone loved it and I'll definitely make again.

I found this recipe 2 years ago and have been taking this dip to family get-togethers since then. I use 1/3 less fat cream cheese and substitute red onion to add anothercolor.
