How To Make cajun ranch walnut cheese ball
-
Step 1Slice green onions into thin rounds.
-
Step 2In a large bowl, add cheeses, seasonings (this can get salty, depending on which seasoning packet/Cajun seasoning blend you’re using—if you’re salt sensitive, be sure to use a low-sodium product or make your own) & green onions. Using a hand mixer, mix until well-combined.
-
Step 3Turn cheese mix out onto cling wrap; form into a ball. Wrap with the cling wrap and place in refrigerator.
-
Step 4Place walnut pieces (add a shake or two of Cajun seasoning, if desired) in large ziplock bag and gently crush into tiny bits with a rolling pin or meat mallet; spread out on a cookie sheet.
-
Step 5Unwrap cheese ball, then roll in walnut bits until the outside is coated with nuts. Rewrap in cling wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Step 6Use spread on crackers, vegetables (celery is a family favorite), pretzels, etc.
