Herbed Goat Cheese Log

This no-cook centerpiece looks like it came from a gourmet cheese shop but takes under 15 minutes to make.
The creamy tang of goat cheese paired with strawberries, honey and a bit of pistachio crunch create a perfectly balanced bite. Serve with sliced veggies, crackers or crostini. Customize the coating based on what you have — think dried cranberries, edible flowers or even a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
