Create bite-sized Mediterranean cheese balls for a standout party snack.
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 package (4 oz) crumbled tomato-basil feta cheese (1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives
  • 1 bag (5 oz) baked no-trans-fat garlic pita chips
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread walnuts in an ungreased shallow pan and bake for 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Finely chop 1/2 cup of walnuts, then combine with oregano on a sheet of waxed paper.
  • Combine cream cheese, feta cheese, and mayonnaise in a food processor. Pulse for 20 to 30 seconds until well mixed. Add olives and remaining 1/4 cup walnuts. Pulse 4 to 5 times until chopped and mixed. Refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm, then shape into balls.
  • Form 60 cheese mixture balls using 1 teaspoon for each. Coat them with a walnut-oregano mixture. Refrigerate in a covered container for about 1 hour until firm. Enjoy with pita chips.
