Recently, I had the opportunity to try a product from Organic Valley for free and make one of the recipes on their website.
There’s so many it was hard to choose which one to make, but I settled on their Mo’ Bettah Cheddah Dip.
You know I had to put my own spin on it. And, of course, I added jalapenos.
Amongst other things.
Oh, and I made it a cheeseball.
This would be great for your holiday table.
The changes to the original recipe are noted. The cheese dip is really good before my changes – I just wanted to put a twist on it for fun.
Here’s the printable-
Pomegranate Jeweled Cheese Ball

- 1 block (8 oz) Organic Valley cream cheese, at room temperature
- 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese

- 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
- 1/3 cup pecans, crushed
Instructions

Notes
Adapted from Organic Valley Mo' Bettah Cheddah Dip. The original recipe does not include jalapenos, pomegranate arils or pecans. I also omitted the lemon juice.
