SAVORY CREAM CHEESE AND PINEAPPLE PARTY DIP
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
- Grate your ginger using a microplane zester for the finest flavor and texture.
- 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.
