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.
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Serve immediately if desired with reserved green onions sprinkled over, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Cook’s Note:
Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
