Who doesn’t love a cheese ball?! With all the different Holidays in the next couple of months I wanted to do a vegan twist on the classic Herb and Garlic Cheese Ball.
I wanted to create a cheese ball dupe that contained no dairy, no soy and only whole, natural ingredients. This recipe is a winner!
I would suggest serving this recipe with sliced cucumbers, thick bell pepper chunks, soft juicy dates and romaine leaves. This is the perfect recipe for nights in with a bottle of wine or to serve to guests.
