Directions
Pesto Cheese Ball, Party Perfect!, This is an adopted recipe The orginal poster said This is perfect for parties, especially if you like cheese and crackers, and my favorite, pesto! , I scaled this down to make a small version and enjoyed it for lunch with sun chips Very tasty and enjoyed Thanks Susie! Made for being VIP in the vegetarian swap-Oct 2011 , I’m not usually big on pesto but, after reading this recipe, I was intrigued, & rightly so ~ It makes for A VERY NICE TASTING APPETIZER! I particularly liked using the toasted pine nuts AND the fresh basil! Will be making this for several groups I host during the winter holidays! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for THE pillar in a lot of what goes on in Zaar, AND especially in Pick A Chef]
