SAVORY CREAM CHEESE AND PINEAPPLE PARTY DIP



Savory Cream Cheese and Pineapple Party Dip image

This is one of my "back pocket" recipes for a quick and tasty party dip. I've had people ask me if it is chicken salad, because the pineapple adds a texture that is similar to shredded chicken, and the savory ingredients mask the pineapple flavor. It's perfect for a little bite before a meal or a satisfying afternoon snack on your favorite crackers. If you like, you can sneak in some vegetables, and serve it on celery sticks, or those little tri-color mini bell peppers, cut in half.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) can canned crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine cream cheese, crushed pineapple, pecans. bell pepper, most of the green onion, and salt in a bowl, reserving some of the green onion tops for garnish.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to finely chop the onions for a milder flavor. If you prefer a more pronounced onion flavor, chop them a little coarser.
  • Be sure to toast your walnuts until they are fragrant and golden brown. This will bring out their nutty flavor.
  • If you don't have any cayenne pepper, you can substitute a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the pineapple salsa immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
