Bringing back the cheese ball (it never should have gone out of style). Coated with crunchy walnuts and fresh parsley, it's the perfect appetizer.
250-g pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup prepared hummus
4 tsp chopped parsley
2 tsp chopped oregano
2 tsp finely diced sun-dried tomatoes, (in oil)
1/4 tsp minced garlic
walnuts, finely chopped
finely chopped parsley
BEAT cream cheese in a large bowl with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in feta, hummus, parsley, oregano, tomatoes and garlic. Form into a ball, then wrap in a large piece of plastic wrap, twisting top. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
UNWRAP ball. Roll in large plate of walnuts and parsley.
To make ahead: Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Let cheese ball stand for an hour at room temperature before serving.
