Active: 10 min
Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

  1. 12 large, good-quality pimento-stuffed olives
  2. 8 ounces cold cream cheese
  3. 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
  4. 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, finely minced

Instructions

  1. Lay the olives on a paper towel-lined plate and gently pat them dry.
  2. Slice a small piece of cream cheese about 1/4 inch thick and place 1 olive in the center of the slice. Wrap the cream cheese around the olive and roll it between your hands so it is completely covered and forms a smooth ball. Repeat until all of the olives are covered in cream cheese.
  3. Mix the walnuts and parsley in a bowl or shallow dish. Roll each ball in the mixture to completely coat. Refrigerate the coated olives, uncovered, until chilled, at least 1 hour. These can be made a day in advance.
  4. Slice in half before serving.

Came out awesome, and amazingly easy.  I was worried about cutting them in half.  They were perfect spheres, so I wasn’t sure which way the olives were facing.  I was happy to discover it didn’t matter.  They all looked great.
