Description
A full bodied cheese ball with the tastes of tangy cheese, tropical fruit, pecans and surprisingly, horseradish!

Ingredients

 * 1 large Genuine California Avocado, peeled, cut into chunks
 * 2 tsp lime juice
 * 1 Pound non-fat cream cheese, softened
 * 1 bunch green onions, diced
 * ½ Cup pecans, pieces
 * ¼ Cup pineapple tidbits, drained
 * 2 oz shredded cheese (bleu or parmesan)
 * 1 Tbsp horseradish sauce
 * Assorted crackers
 * Celery stalks
 * 2 iceberg lettuce leaves

Directions
Peel cold refrigerated avocado, discard peeling and chop the remaining avocado into squares.

Soak in lime juice in freezer in a covered bowl for 20 minutes.

Combine 1 lb. non-fat cream cheese softened at room temperature, 1 bunch green onions diced, 1/2 cup pecan pieces, 1/4 cup pineapple tidbits with juice drained off, 2 oz. shredded cheese (bleu cheese or parmesan), 1 Tbsp. horseradish sauce (mayonnaise based, not pure horseradish).

Form into a ball.
