    Recipe Introduction


    "The combination of flavors makes this dip very interesting as well as delicious. It's a challenge to not eat a lot while you're making it. I'm usually anxious for my guests to arrive so I can serve it and dig in!"

    List of Ingredients




    8 ounces pineapple chunks in juice
    16 ounces low fat cream cheese -- softened
    8 ounces water chestnuts, canned -- drained and chopped
    3 tablespoons fresh chives -- chopped
    1 teaspoon seasoned salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 cup pecans -- chopped
    fresh parsley -- chopped

    Recipe



    Drain the pineapple, reserving 1 tablespoon juice. In a small bowl, combine pineapple, cream cheese, water chestnuts, chives, salt,
    pepper, and pecans. Stir in reserved juice; mix well. Garnish with parsley. Cover and chill. Serve with crackers. Makes 3 1/2 cups. Add more points for the crackers. Serves 20

    NOTES : Betsy's Notes: I added some peach and Vidalia onion hot sauce to
    give it a bit of zing. Regular hot sauce will work as well.
