Cream Cheese And Smoked Salmon Ball Recipe

How to make it Set the cream cheese out and let it get to room temperature. While that is warming up, clean up the green onions. You want to have green onions to serve with the cheese ball, so you should cut the onions so they have about 3 inch green tops. And make sure they are skinned! These need to be pretty. Now take the bet of the tops and chop them up into about 1/8 inch pieces. You want about 1/2 cup of chopped tops! Toss them into the bowl with the warming up cream cheese. Add everything except the onion sticks(?) to the cream cheese. Mix the crap out of it! Mine always comes out a light brownish color. Now have a good sized serving tray ready, and by that I mean cover it with crisp lettuce leaves. Make a ball out of the cream cheese mixture in the middle of the tray on a leaf of lettuce. Then I place the onions themselves around the ball by pointing the white end at the ball and the green end toward the edge of the plate. This gives the look of a flower when it is all done. Use what ever you like to spread this on! Enjoy!!! I think it is one of the best cheese balls at our table!
