Larry's Salmon Cheese Ball
"This recipe was given to me by a former co-worker that loved to fish and liked to smoke different foods. He used to bring some of these balls to work and set them in the lunch room, and they would disappear so fast. Prep time includes time to soften Cream Cheese, and to blend finished ball in the refrigerator. This is the lower fat version, using lower fat wherever possible."

Excellent smoked salmon ball! I had about 6 ounces of hot smoked salmon to use so I reduced all the amounts by half; used a couple of finely chopped green onions instead of dried flakes. The horseradish gives this a nice bite! Thanks Jim for a quick and easy recipe.

I am a 71 year old man who survived Lung Cancer in 2001. My wife of 46 years passed away in Jan of 2006. She lost her long battle with metastatized breast Cancer, since 2004 and had other non cancer related problems. I have been walking around the Burlington Mall to strengthen my lungs. I have also started trying to eat healthier and have lost some weight. I have been cooking, off and on, since I could see the stove top. Nothing fancy normally, just plain food.
