For an easy one, get Knorr's Vegetable Soup & Dip mix and look at their recipe for spinach dip.
I leave out the water chestnuts, and add 8 oz. each softened cream cheese, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Also some worcestire sauce to taste.
Decorating ideas:
Roll ball in mixture of dried parsley and chopped nuts. I sometimes take dried roast beef in the jar and microwave it for about 30 seconds, then crumble it and use to roll around, but you wanted meatless.
For a recent Christmas party, I chilled the cheese ball in a bowl with plastic wrap, then frosted it with cream cheese and milk an added some blocks to make a front door of an igloo. The tray was covered with cream cheese, and I added a snowman statue, and made a bunch of black olive penguins (you use large and small black olives. Cut a slit in the large ones and fill with cream cheese piped from a baggie. Cut carrot slices about 1/4" thick, and a small wedge out of each one. Stand the stuffed olive on the carrot, then use the wedge in the small olive as a nose (put it sideways and it goes in the hole where the pit was) and keep it together with a toothpick.

I am partial to just using cream cheese and bleu cheese plus some chopped green onions. Use 1/4 the amount of bleu cheese to the amount of cream cheese plus 3 or 4 chopped green onions. Serve with a variety of crackers and a couple knives. You could chop or shred any type veggies you like and incorporate them into the mixture.
