Savory Feta Cheese Log with Toasted Walnuts & Olives

Comments:
This one is more complex than the mix and serve dips, but it makes a nice presentation and is worth the effort. Serve with assorted crackers. Makes 1-1/2 cups.

Ingredients:

• 1 (8 oz.) package feta cheese, crumbled
• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 small clove garlic minced
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped ripe olives (I usually leave these off)
• 2 Tbsp. sliced green onions
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:
Mix feta cheese, cream cheese and olive oil with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add olives, onions and garlic; mix well.

Toast walnuts in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 5 minutes stirring constantly; cool.

Shape feta mixture into a 10 inch long log (mix will be soft); roll in walnuts. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate. Remove plastic wrap to serve.
