Gluten-Free Recipe: Potluck Party Cheese Ball

This can be a good gluten-free option to take to your next pot luck. You will just need to bring some gluten-free crackers to go with it, and make sure to check the mayo to make sure it is a gluten-free version. (Those made with olive oil may be, and the all-natural versions that contain only oil, vinegar, eggs, and spices are your best bet.)

Cheese balls are always a hit, and they are naturally tasty and gluten-free.

Potluck Party Cheese Ball

Ingredients:

8 oz finely shredded medium or sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely minced onion
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 Tbsp real mayonnaise
2 Tbsp chopped chives
1 cup finely chopped nuts

Directions:

• Put all the ingredients (EXCEPT chopped nuts) in a large bowl and mix together well. Put the chopped nuts in a bowl.
• Form a ball with your hands, then roll the cheese ball around in the chopped nuts, pressing the nuts onto the cheese ball until it is well coated.
• Cover with plastic food wrap and chill until ready to serve.
• Serve with a small cheese knife alongside a bowl of sturdy gluten-free crackers.
• Will make enough for a small to medium potluck gathering - about 10 to 12 snack size servings.
