Sometimes even a salad can’t be all good for you. Everything in moderation, right? You could definitely bake or broil the cheese if you prefer to make the salad a little less guilt-ridden. Or just use two or three cheese balls in the salad and that works too. I have to say, I do endorse the frying for the full effect. The extra crispy outside is hard to pass up.

step 1
Start by soaking the Cashew Nuts (1 cup) in water overnight or for a few hours while you do other things. I like to use this time to clean, grocery shop, or walk the dog.

Add the Fresh Basil (1/2 cup), drained cashews, Garlic (1 clove), Nutritional Yeast (4 Tbsp), White Miso Paste (1 tsp), Water (1 Tbsp), juice from Lemon (1) and Salt (1 pinch) to a food processor.

step 3
Blend until everything is mixed together and the mixture becomes more like a paste. You’ll likely have to stop a few times to scrape down the edges. The mixture shouldn’t be runny and should actually be a bit sticky.

step 4
Roll the mixture into small balls in the palm of your hand. Your hands will get very full of cheese mixture! Roll each ball in Panko Breadcrumbs (1/2 cup), this will make them less sticky and easier to work with.

step 5
Put Canola Oil (2 Tbsp) into a skillet on medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat until a splash of water on the pan results in the oil spitting. Then place 1-3 cheese balls in the pan and fry. Flip and brown the other side.
