This is roughly from memory, but since I seldom follow the recipe exactly anyway, here goes:

6 to 8 oz. smoked salmon flaked and chopped.
I pkg of cream cheese warmed enough to mix all the stuff in it.
about 1/4 onion chopped
about 1/2 green bell pepper chopped
some lemon juice
some soy sauce, to taste, go easy.
add some red pepper flakes, again, to taste.
Mix up all the above along with anything else that seems like it might go well with it.

Now roll the cheeseball in a bunch of finely chopped walnuts that you have already prepared. Then chill the salmon cheeseball (sounds like a kind of bait, doesn't it?) and then set it in one of those fancy dip dishes in the center of a tray, and add a bunch of expensive crackers. Serve and all your friends will think you really know what you're doing. I get compliments every time, and it's never the same twice.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
