Almond Pinecone

1 1/2 cups toasted whole almonds
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese -- softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
5 slices bacon -- cooked and minced
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon dill
freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

Toast the almonds and set aside. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least 1 hour. Form the cream cheese mixture into the shape of a pinecone. Beginning at the bottom, gently press the almonds in rows across the pinecone shape. Continue the rows until the whole shape is covered, and resembles a pinecone. Either eat immediately or refrigerate. Allow to come up to room temperature before serving. Garnish with greens.

NOTE:
A marble board works well for this as it will hold the cool temperature longer than a plate.

If fresh greens are used be careful that they are not poisonous.
