01 -

The combination of cream cheese and cheddar creates this incredibly rich base that still feels light enough for summer days
Bacon and jalapeños together is basically the flavor equivalent of a warm hug from your most adventurous friend

02 -

The flavor actually develops overnight so making this a day ahead gives you something pretty spectacular
Some jalapeños are way hotter than others so taste a tiny bit before committing the whole pepper

03 -

Pat your chicken dry with paper towels before mixing so the dressing doesnt get watered down
Let everything chill for at least an hour so the flavors can really get friendly with each other
