Festive Chicken Salad Log

8 oz Cream cheese, softened

1/4 c Mayonnaise or salad dressing

2 tb Lemon juice

1/2 ts Salt

1/4 ts Ground ginger

1/8 ts Pepper

4 dr Red pepper sauce

1/4 c Sliced green onions

-(2 to 3 medium)
-TOPPINGS
- 3 Green pepper rings

1 tb Toasted sesame seed

3 tb Chopped green onion or

-green pepper 3 tb Chopped pitted ripe olives

3 tb Chopped pimiento, drained

Mix cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, ginger, pepper, and pepper sauce. Stir in chicken, eggs, and 1/4 cup onions. Shape into log, 8x2 inches. Wrap in

plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours. Cut each green pepper ring once to make a curled strip. Place strips diagonally across log, dividing log into fourths. Sprinkle each section with one of the four remaining toppings. Serve with crackers. Makes about 10-12 servings. NOTE: The toppings make it look fancier, but usually I dispense with them and just mound the mix into a serving dish. It's great!
