Ham and Dill Pickle Appetizer Bites
dill pickles
thin deli ham slices (use lean ham with the lowest fat content you can find for South Beach Diet)
light cream cheese (or use whipped cream cheese if you don't care about it being light)
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you make these. Cut dill pickles lengthwise into fourths or sixths, depending on how thick the pickles are. You need as many cut pickle spears as you have ham slices. Spread each slice of ham with a very thin layer of cream cheese. (I used about 1 tsp. cream cheese on each ham slice. The ham doesn't need to be completely covered with cream cheese. Put a dill pickle on the edge of each ham slice and trim the ham if it's very much bigger than the dill pickle spear. Roll up the ham around the dill pickle, then place toothpicks where you want each piece to be cut. Cut into pieces so that each piece has a toothpick. Arrange on plate and serve.
