Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • ⅓ cup carrot shredded
  • ⅓ cup radish shredded
  • ⅓ cup bell pepper finely diced
  • ¼ cup green onion tops only, chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt sea salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 2 TBSP parsley fresh, to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Allow cream cheese to soften slightly.
  2. While you let it sit, chop your veggies and crush your walnuts. For ingredients like cheddar cheese, shredded carrot, and shredded radish, you can use the coarse side of a cheese grater to create shreds. I like to chop mine into small pieces after shredding for a confetti-like effect in the cheese ball.
  3. Add cream cheese to a large bowl and use a hand mixer to whip for about a minute. Add all your veggies, cheddar cheese (optional), salt and garlic powder and blend until veggies are dispersed throughout the cream cheese, approx. 30 seconds or so.
  4. Spoon cream cheese onto a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a ball. Pop in it the fridge for a few minutes to set, if needed, then remove the plastic and roll in crushed walnuts and parsley.
  5. If making in advance, add cheese ball to bowl or plate and cover tightly. Allow ball to soften a little at room temperature before serving for easy spreading.
  6. Serve with bagel chips, bagels, assorted fresh fruit, veggies, and all your brunch essentials. Enjoy!
