Ingredients:

1 cup onion
160g
1 package ham
70g
10 oz fat free cream cheese
280g
10 stalks celery
1280g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion and ham.
- Clean and chop the celery stalks into short, bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix Cheese Ball Mixture:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese.
- Incorporate the finely chopped onion and ham into the softened cream cheese. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- You can use a spoon, spatula, or even mix with clean hands for a more thorough blend.
3. Shape the Mixture:
- Using your hands, form the mixture into a ball shape. If the mixture is too soft to shape, place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Once formed, you can roll the cheese ball mixture in additional finely chopped ham or onion if desired for extra flavor and texture.
4. Chill the Cheese Ball:
- Place the cheese ball on a plate or in a container, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least an hour. This helps the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
5. Serve:
- When ready to serve, place the cheese ball on a serving platter.
- Arrange the celery sticks around the cheese ball.
- Offer guests a small knife to spread the cheese mixture onto the celery or a spoon to scoop it.

Tips:

- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to make it easier to blend.

- For more flavor, you can add herbs like chives or dill to the cheese mixture.

- If you're short on time, use pre-chopped onion and pre-sliced ham to speed up the preparation process.

- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the fresh crunch of the celery.

- You can garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or finely chopped parsley for a pop of color.
