CREAM CHEESE BALL
One 5-inch ball
Blend well in a large bowl:
- Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped carrot
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
- (1 teaspoon drained prepared horseradish)
- ½ teaspoon salt
Place the mixture on a large piece of plastic wrap. Bring up the edges of the wrap and form the mixture into a ball. Place in a small deep bowl to help it hold its shape and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. When it is firm, roll the cheese ball in:
- 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
Press the nuts to make them adhere. The cheese ball can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
