Instructions
In a bowl, beat cream cheese at low speed for about 1 minute or until smooth and fluffy.
Add crushed pineapple, ham, celery, red bell pepper, green onions, and seasoned salt. Stir to combine.
Divide mixture into two portions and shape each into a ball.
Wrap each cheese ball with plastic film and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 hours.
When ready to serve, gently roll cheese ball in chopped pecans to fully coat, pressing down nuts to adhere.
Serve with cracker crisps, bagel chips, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours to firm up to make it easy to roll and coat with the nuts.
