Ingredients:

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup white wine vinegar (I use champagne vinegar)

One 2-ounce jar diced pimiento, drained

3 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (and/or cilantro)

3 Tablespoons minced green onions

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon dried whole basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

One 8-ounce (5-1/2 x 2 x 1 inch) block sharp cheddar cheese, chilled

One 8-ounce package of cream cheese (I use Monterey Jack instead)

Fresh parsley sprigs (optional)

Instructions:

Combine olive oil, white wine vinegar, pimiento, chopped parsley, green onions, garlic, sugar, basil, salt, and pepper in a jar; cover tightly and shake vigorously. Set marinade mixture aside.

Cut blocks of cheese in half lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices; set aside. Arrange cheese slices alternately in a shallow baking dish, standing the slices on edge. Pour marinade over cheese slices. Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 8 hours.

Transfer cheese slices to a serving platter in the same alternating fashion, reserving marinade. Spoon marinade over cheese slices. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs, if desired. Serve with assorted crackers.
