Spread: San Francisco Spread

Source of Recipe


The Everett Herald






List of Ingredients



• About 1/4 lb. salami, finely diced to yield 1 cup
  
• 1 cup finely chopped green onions (use all of the white portion, about two-thirds of the green)
  
• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  
• 1 baguette, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  






Instructions



1. Combine the finely diced salami and finely chopped green onions in a medium bowl with the softened cream cheese. Stir well to evenly distribute the salami and onions. Scrape the mixture into an attractive serving bowl, then cover and refrigerate until about 30 minutes before serving so the cream cheese is slightly softened.
   
   
2. To serve, place the bowl of spread in the center of a serving platter and arrange the bread slices around it. Be sure to provide a serving utensil with the spread so guests can scoop and spread a portion on the bread.
   
   NOTE: Nida used to mince the salami and green onions by hand, but a food processor does the task in a fraction of the time. Just don't over-process or you'll wind up with ground salami. Also, process the salami and green onions separately.
