Cranberry Hummus Vegan Cheese Ball

In a medium bowl combine the first 11 ingredients (through black pepper). Mix until well incorporated. With a large spoon, scoop the mixture onto a plate and form it into a ball. (You can use your hands to shape the ball; dampen your hands with water to help keep the hummus from sticking to them.) Once the ball is formed, press the chopped pecans onto the surface to cover the ball. Serve with fresh vegetables, seasonal fruit, and whole grain crackers.
