32 ounces of plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon salt
Line a fine-mesh strainer 2 or 3 layers of 100% cotton cheesecloth and place over a large bowl or pot for the whey to drain in.
Add the salt to the yogurt and mix together well. Pour the yogurt onto the cheesecloth and cover with paper towels. Let drain for 24 hours.
After 24 hours the yogurt cheese is ready. Place into a container and refrigerate until ready to use.
This yogurt cheese can be molded. Simply line the mold with plastic wrap put in the yogurt cheese and chill for 6 hours. Unmold onto a serving plate, remove the plastic wrap, and garnish with strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber wedges.
Makes about 2 1/2 to 3 cups.
