Did You Know...

Dill weed has an ancient reputation for being a good luck symbol, medicinal aid and aphrodisiac.

Special Touch

For a special presentation, pack the yogurt cheese into a heart-shaped coeur à la crème mold rather than a strainer. Because these molds have fewer drainage holes, you'll need to refrigerate the cheese for an additional 6 hours.
