Cheese Balls
From Dorothy McNett's recipes at www.dorothymcnett.com. Use best quality ricotta cheese directly from the refrigerator so that it will hold bite sized shapes nicely. Choose a wide variety of finely diced vegetables, herbs, cooked meats, shrimp, etc. for decorating each ball. This makes a beautiful holiday appetizer platter when arranged in a christmas tree shape! Delecious, too! Simple, too!
