Spring Garden Dip

Directions

1. 1
   To make yogurt cheese, place yogurt in cheese cloth or paper coffee filter and place in strainer over a bowl.
2. 2
   Let drain a few hours or for best results, overnight in the refrigerator.
3. 3
   The more liquid removed the better.
4. 4
   In a bowl mix yogurt cheese and softened cream cheese.
5. 5
   Add all remaining ingredients.
6. 6
   Serve with raw veggies or chips.
7. 7
   *Notes:When chopping the bell pepper, I put a paper plate on the cutting surface to help absorb some of the liquid in the pepper.
8. 8
   It's best to hand chop the veggies for this reason.
9. 9
   The food processor seems to make everything to runny.
10. 10
    This dip never lasts more than a day or so at our house so I always quadruple the recipe.
11. 11
    I figure while I'm doing all that chopping I might as well make it last.
12. 12
    It keeps several weeks in the fridge.
