Herbed Yogurt Cheese

June 6, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

This creamy, herbed cheese spread seems so rich, you can’t believe it is so low in fat. It is made from plain yogurt, hung out to drain and then mixed with dried and fresh herbs. It makes a low-calorie, yet elegant, cheese spread.

Salad dressings can be made from this cheese by thinning it with lemon juice and adding a small amount of olive oil. Two or three ounce crumbled blue cheese can be added for a creamy blue cheese salad dressing. Finely chopped seeded tomatoes are also a good addition.

Good served with Armenian cracker bread or broiled pita bread. Drizzle with a little olive oil for a treat. Serve with black olives, wedges of tomatoes, and thinly sliced cucumbers.

Makes 2 cups

Easy and tasty.
