You have guests scheduled, but you do not know why to surprise them with such an attractive and low budget? You will come to the aid of a long-forgotten recipe from the 80s of the last century - a garlic snack made from processed cheese. All its ingredients are so cheap that you can feed half a yard with such a spicy dish and not suffer losses. In addition, this appetizer is a great substitute for any salad and an excellent aperitif before hot appetizers - it warms up the appetite wonderfully! In order that this garlic dish does not look faded, you will need ordinary seasonings.
To prepare 4 servings of snack balls you will need:
- 2 processed cheese;
- 2 tbsp. spoons of mayonnaise;
- 2-3 cloves of garlic;
- 2-3 pinches of salt;
- 1 package of ground paprika, turmeric and dried herbs.
You can find processed cheese at any supermarket or store, since they cost a penny and are always available. To prepare snacks, they need to be grated on a coarse grater, but in order to keep the curd forms in shape, put them in a freezer for a few minutes. In it they harden slightly and rub them will become much easier. Rub the melted mass into a bowl with high sides.
Peel garlic cloves and rinse in water. Pass them through the press into a bowl with a rubbed mass. Immediately add salt to it and add mayonnaise. It is best to stir such a sticky mass with a fork - it will break all the lumps and properly mix the garlic squeeze among the cheese mass.
Then sprinkle seasonings into three separate containers - they are red, yellow and green - a real traffic light!
Dipping palms into water and separating small parts from the melted mass, roll them in the form of small balls. Dip the balls into the prepared seasonings and roll them in properly.
Prepare the dish in advance with green salad leaves and dill sprigs laid out on it. Put garlic balls on a dish in any order that you like. By the way, some cooks even place walnuts or peanuts in the middle of such balls, taking for example the Rafaello candy with almonds inside. Here is your holiday snack and ready.
You must admit that there is nothing difficult in its preparation, because you do not need to boil, fry or bake anything! And if you are planning to serve it for a dinner table or for dinner, then you can snack balls and not roll in seasonings, and it's easy to do without them - it turns out much more economically - let's count.

- 2 melted curds - 20 rubles;
