Pineapple Party Dip
Ingredients
- 1 Perfect Pineapple, chopped
- 2 – 8 oz bricks of cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz. bag of raw unsalted pecan halves, a little more just in case some are cracked.
- 1 tablespoon grain mustard
- ¼ each of a red, orange and yellow pepper, diced small
- ⅓ cup of black olives, sliced and chopped (optional)
- 2 or 3 green onions, finely chopped
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- 2 heaping tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the crown off of your Chestnut Hill Farms Perfect Pineapple, and slice the fruit half lengthwise (long) so it lays flat. Set aside the fruit, and reserve the crown of the pineapple for ending decor.
- Scoop out and chop about a cup of the pineapple fruit. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese and grainy mustard. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- With a spatula, fold in the reserved pineapple, colored peppers, chopped pecans, olives, onions and parsley, making sure everything gets mixed in.
- Taste and add whatever you would like more of.
- Refrigerate the mixture overnight in a bowl covered with plastic wrap.
- When ready to serve, place cream cheese mixture onto your serving platter, shaping like a football. Remember the crown is going to be placed on top, therefore allow room on your serving platter when positioning the cream cheese mixture.
- Decorate the pecan halves from top to bottom covering the sides as best you can, overlapping the pecans to cover most of the cheese mixture.
- Position the crown in place at the top of your creation, and add your dipping veggies, crackers and chips all around.
- Serve and enjoy! Original Recipe by Proud Italian Cook
