A bright and festive snack to set out while celebrating the beginning of summer and honoring those that gave their lives for our freedom, our red, white, and blue dish, is great to share this Memorial Day. Using red and blue berries and fruits is a fun way to add a pop of holiday color and edible decor to your table. You can make the dip a few days before serving, however once the day comes, be sure to pull it out of the fridge for about 15 minutes to soften a tad. Enjoy!
