Here is a little change up from spinach dip, to spinach cheese ball. You could use a different cheese other than Cheddar, but it probably has the most noticeable flavor. This recipe gives you options for using regular or reduced-fat products. THIS IS TO BE MADE THE DAY BEFORE SERVING! REFRIGERATE OVERNIGHT!
