Pineapple Cheese Ball

Two 8oz packages cream cheese
8-1/2 oz can of crushed pineapple
2 cups (8-9oz) pecans, finely chopped
1/4 cup (1-1/2oz) green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Drain crushed pineapple. Mix all ingredients except 1 cup of
chopped pecans. Form into ball. Refrigerate. Roll in remaining
1 cup of finely chopped pecans. Serve with assorted crackers.

For a more elaborate setting, form into small "cake" shape by
pressing into a small cake pan. "Ice" the cake of cheese with
softened cream cheese. Decorate with tinted cream cheese
and pecans.
