Recipe Tips

Size Wise Enjoy eating appetizers at a social occasion but be mindful of portion size so you don’t overdo it on calories.

Holiday Feta Cheese WreathPrepare cheese mixture, then refrigerate as directed. Place drinking glass, about 3 inches in diameter, in center of serving platter. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of cheese mixture around glass, just touching cheese mounds to outer edge of glass to form a ring; smooth tops and sides of cheese mounds with spatula to resemble wreath. Remove glass. Garnish cheese wreath with chopped fresh parsley and red bell peppers as desired.

Special ExtraTo intensify the flavor and crunch of the walnuts, toast them before use. Just spread the nuts onto a baking sheet and bake in 350°F oven 5 to 7 min. or until lightly toasted.
