Cheese in Ayurveda is considered tamasic. Anything that is tamasic is creating dullness in the body and mind. To minimize this, when choosing cheeses, go for the soft cheeses like feta, goat, cottage, and Brie. They are easier to digest and less tamasic. This recipe is great because the garlic, vinegar, and onion are all working to facilitate digestion. Om, Pamela
