This is not a complicated brunch dish but it does offer a new taste sensation and a unique stuffing for celery. One of the blogs I follow is . . . thrice shy written by a high school classmate of mine. Sharon recently wrote about a simple appetizer of watermelon sprinkled with fresh mint and thought the combination was wonderful. It sounded good to me too so I tried the idea for this brunch. It turned out to be a very refreshing addition to some of the richer dishes on the menu and the mint and watermelon are indeed compatible.
An appetizer I have been making for years is Cream Cheese, Pineapple Spread. I usually serve this on crackers, but it is an excellent stuffing for celery. As a matter of fact, I like it better on the celery.
CREAM CHEESE, PINEAPPLE SPREAD
1 cup pecans, chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large can crushed pineapple, well drained
1 Tbls onion chopped
1/2 tsp salt
Mix all ingredients together and serve with crackers or stuff in celery.
Looks like you hosted a pretty amazing brunch! Everything looks delicious!
I never would have thought to combine pineapple and celery…sounds refreshing!
That spread looks so good to me. I can almost taste it. Yum Yum! I’ve only spreads like that at catered affairs.
Watermelon and mint, oh, sounds refreshing!
This is magnificant! What a tasty and healthy idea for brunch!
That spread sounds fabulous! Thanks for reminding me about stuffing celery too – perfect for hubby.
This sounds refreshing!
