A delightful tropical twist on the classic cheese ball, perfect for gatherings.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, red bell pepper, green onion, seasoning salt, chopped pecans, and crushed pineapple.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Shape the mixture into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Chilling helps the flavors meld together and makes the cheese ball easier to handle.
Roll the chilled cheese ball in the additional chopped pecans to coat the exterior evenly.
Press the pecans gently into the cheese ball to ensure they stick well.
Place the cheese ball on a serving plate and serve with crackers or vegetable sticks.
Garnish the plate with fresh herbs or fruit slices for a decorative touch.
