8 ounces Neufchâtel cheese package or low-fat cream cheese (nonfat will also work)
1 cup white sharp cheddar cheese reduced-fat, shredded
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed (about 1/4 of a lemon)
1 teaspoon tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
2 scallions sliced (just greens)
1/2 cup pistachios coarsely chopped
1/2 cup almonds or pine nuts, coarsely chopped

Mix all ingredients (except the nuts) with a food processor or by hand.
Form into a ball. If it is too hard to form the ball, let the mixture sit in the fridge for an hour, covered, to harden.
Spread the nuts evenly on a plate. Roll the ball in the nuts to cover. Set in the fridge, covered, for 1- 2 hours to harden.
Serve on a platter with a cheese knife and whole wheat crackers.
Enjoy!
