Cheese Balls with Red Fish
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. This appetizer will brighten any festive spread and is reminiscent of the famous "Mimosa" salad. Any red fish will work for the cheese balls, but it shouldn't be too salty. Add the mayonnaise in portions, mixing well each time. The mixture should be thick enough to form balls. If you want to serve the balls on skewers, make them small — literally one bite each — so they don't fall off later. But if you serve them in paper candy cups, along with skewers, you can make them 2–3 bites each. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
