Yogurt Cheese: |
1 (32 oz.) carton lowfat plain yogurt |
|
Dip: |
1/4 c. (1-oz.) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese |
2/3 c. finely shredded carrots |
1/4 c. prepared salsa |
pinch salt |

Pita: |
4 pita bread rounds, cut into triangles |
Directions:
1. To make the yogurt cheese, spoon the yogurt into a large, fine-mesh strainer. Set over a bowl and drain in refrigerator for at least 4 hrs. The longer refrigerated, the firmer the cheese will be. Discard the liquid. Store the cheese in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container until ready to use, up to 1 week. Makes 11/2 to 2 c.
2. For the dip, in a medium bowl, combine a 1/3 c. of the yogurt cheese with the dip ingredients until blended.
3. To serve, transfer the dip to a serving dish and serve with the pita triangles.
