When I lived in Virginia my summers consisted of relaxing after a hectic school year by spending time at the pool and the occasional trip to the beach. Last summer was my first in Michigan and I spent a lot of time traveling with friends to some property they own about 3 hours north of where I live.

It’s super quiet up there, there’s an almost constant breeze, and the weather is gorgeous. I’m pretty sold on Michigan summers anyway but it’s even prettier up there with the big flat space perfect for capturing the wind that comes off the water and blows inland. Gorgeous.

We spent so much time up at that house that summer I was a little bummed to learn that we wouldn’t be traveling up there nearly as much this summer just because my friend’s husband got a new job and is in training all summer long. Boo.

But we still made sure to make the most of Memorial Day where I served up this gorgeous but simple dip with just 4 ingredients.

I debated making this with goat’s cheese at first but I like the texture provided by the feta plus I’ve been a little feta obsessed since trying this farro salad from Goodie Godmother last month. A little bit of cream cheese offers enough of a creamy consistency to make this a lightly spreadable dip perfect for the thin, crispy, and flavorful Dare Crackers.

The crunch of the sliced almonds and pop of sweetness from the dried cranberries sends this dip over the top and I loved every bite. Dare’s complete collection of mouthwatering crackers are loaded with crunch and packed with flavor to make your most inventive summer bites even better.

Whether you’re putting together an elegant summer party or sitting around a kitchen table playing Cards Against Humanity until 2am and laughing till your sides hurt this dip + Dare Crackers {the Breton Original are my favorite flavor} = an unforgettable, memory-making summer night.

I appreciate that I can inspire people to incorporate more feta cheese into their lives. It’s important. And this dip looks amazing! But spread... whatever. I'd eat it with a spoon.
