I’m all about easy recipes in the summer.After a day of swimming, hiking, or working in the yard, I want to pull something together quick for hungry bellies. The great thing about this dip is that it is made up of just 3 ingredients-cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and cool whip.

This dip is so simple and delicious! I love how fluffy the texture is and it’s just the right amount of sweet. It’s not so sweet that it competes with the fruit, but it adds just what a sour green grape needs. This dip, some fruit, and a piled highsandwichis pretty much the perfect meal on a hot summer day.
