Snack Idea: Spicy Yogurt Dip and Veggies

This is such a light and satisfying snack. I love pairing this spicy dip with carrot sticks, sugar snap peas, and bell pepper strips! Yum! I could probably make a whole meal out of it. 

32 oz fat-free plain yogurt
Garlic powder to taste
Onion powder to taste
Seasoned salt to taste
Cut-up fresh veggies

1. LINE a strainer with a coffee filter or white paper towel. Place the strainer over a bowl (this catches the liquid that will drain off the yogurt). Spoon the yogurt into the filter-lined strainer.
2. COVER and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. This process yields about 16 ounces of yogurt cheese.
3. SEASON the cheese lightly with the seasonings suggested above, or add freshly chopped herbs such as parsley, rosemary or thyme. Use as dip for fresh vegetables.
