Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 15.25 ounces crushed pineapple (1 can)
  • 4 green onions finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Serving dish

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.
  3. Drain the crushed pineapple to remove excess liquid. Add the crushed pineapple to the cream cheese mixture and stir until well combined.
  4. Finely slice the green onions and fold them into the dip. The onions add a fresh crunch that balances the creaminess of the dip.
  5. Finally, gently stir in the sliced almonds. They add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that enhances the overall experience.
  6. Cover the dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with your choice of crackers, fresh vegetables, or even some toasted bread.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
  • Swap sliced almonds for chopped walnuts or pecans for a different nutty flavor.
  • Try adding a dash of garlic powder for an extra flavor kick.
