Substitutions
- Cream Cheese: You can make my cheese recipe or use different vegan versions.
- Black Olives: I love black olives in this recipe. But of course, you can either use green olives or kalamata olives. Or do mix of all three versions. Adds a nice olive oil flavor without actually using olive oil.
- Herbs: Add different herbs. Dried or fresh herbs. Like Dill or any you like in a good Greek Recipe.
Variations
- Spicy: Add some extra flavor like red pepper flakes to this savory recipe. If you like spicy, you are going to love it.
- Lemon: Add some fresh lemon juice or lemon zest to add some zing to soft cheeses.
- Extra Nutritional Yeast: Add some nooch to the dairy-free alternative to add some cheesy flavor.
- Garlic: When you love Greek recipes like Tzatziki, you know they love their garlic. And actually I to do. You could also add some fresh garlic clove to the cashew cheese recipe.
- Black Pepper: Sprinkle some fresh ground black pepper over this delicious spread.
Equipment
You are going to need a small stirring bowl, a spoon or a whisk.
Storage
This plant based spreadable cheese will last in a sealed container in the fridge up to 2 weeks! This is great for meal prep.
