Clam Dip


You can make a low-fat clam dip! The secret ingredient is yogurt cheese, which is made from drained yogurt and is thicker and has more tang than regular yogurt. To make yogurt cheese, set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. (Line the strainer with cheesecloth if the mesh is large.) Spoon about three cups of low-fat plain yogurt into the strainer. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The result is yogurt cheese. Don't throw away the whey in the bottom of the bowl. You can use it in place of buttermilk when you make bread.
