Recipes > Cucumber Rounds w/ Cashew Cheese Tapenade
This delicious non-dary canapé is balanced out with the creaminess of the cheese, saltiness of the olive and sweet acidity of the pickled figs. This bite-sized recipe is a great way to showcase the cashew cream cheese.

So good. I didn't have balsamic figs, but the rest was outstanding.
