Recipe: Smoked Salmon Cheese Ball

Hi Mary Jo, Here's a recipe for you to experiment with if you don't find the one you're looking for - maybe someone will have one to share. I'm sure you can leave out the salmon with good results. You may also want to try a plain cheese ball recipe and just stir in horseradish to taste. Happy Holidays, Betsy
