French Herb Dip image

Tangy! First you make yogurt cheese, then you use that to make the dip. A great opportunity to put your herb garden to use, though you can substitute smaller amounts of dried herbs if you prefer. The "cooking time" shown is actually the time the yogurt sits in your refrigerator. The recipe really makes closer to 1-3/4 cup dip than 2 cups, but the "yield" field wouldn't accept it.
