Amazing Pineapple Salsa

This salsa is amazing and easy! I hope you like it as much as I do, and that it last longer than one night (never does at our place).

Pineapple Salsa
- 1 can petite diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 can corn (drained)
- 1 can black beans (drained)
- 1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped (I prefer 1/4)
- 1 (20 oz) can of pineapple tidbits (undrained) (I like to cut them in half)
- 1/3 c. Italian dressing

Mix all ingredients together. The salsa is liquidy but really good.

Matty's Cheese Ball

For my first recipe I thought I would share a nice easy appetizer with you! It is an amazing cheese ball that goes great with almost any cracker.

Cream Cheese Ball

-16 oz cream cheese
-1 small can of crushed pineapple (it's about the size of a normal tuna can)
-1 minced green pepper (a smaller one is better)
-1/4 cup minced onion
-1 tsp seasoning salt (such as Lawry's)
-1 cup crushed pecans (or almonds or whatever you prefer)
-Crackers of choice

Drain the pineapple. Mix everything together but half of the pecans (set aside for later). I just use my hand to do this but you might try a food processor if you have one. Shape the lump into 2 balls (or 1 your choice) and roll them over the remaining pecans. I really like the toll house crackers, or club crackers with it. It's so good!
