jfreed's Note:

The salmon ball may be served on a variety of toasts - Melba, rounds of French bread, or mini bagels. This is a quick and pretty presentation. From "Party Receipts" from the Charleston Junior League

Sophisticated. It makes me salivate when I eat it. It is definitively better when onion is placed on the carrying devise first and then some of the ball and topped with lemon or lime juice. I only had key lime from the yard. This is a must try. It does well on tortilla strips and cucumbers as well as the toast points.
