Healthier Cheese: Dairy-Free Herbed Yogurt Cheese

Resolving to eat healthier doesn't mean that you have to give up on flavor, taste and presentation. For those of you who have been dairy-free, vegetarian or vegan for any length of time, you know that most people do not believe this; anytime you go to a non-veggie, dairy-laden household, the first thing anyone asks is if you'd like a lettuce salad.

Well, I love lettuce, but I love flavor more.

I also, however, love eating healthy foods that make me feel good. This Dairy-free Herbed Yogurt Cheese is one of my favorite healthy-yet-decadent foods, rich and creamy but still good for you. Prepared with dairy-free soy yogurt, this "cheese" takes several days to make, but it is well worth the effort! By far my favorite dairy-free cheese, this Dairy-free Herbed Yogurt Cheese is prepared similarly to regular cheese-- draining the liquid "whey" portion through a cheesecloth over several days-- which accounts for its cheese-like flavor and consistency.

Here are a few more of my "healthy" indulgences that are conveniently dairy-free:

Dairy-Free Cinnamon Custard

Healthy Apple Bread Pudding

Light Goddess Dressing

Poached Salmon with Ginger Sauce

Vegan Macaroni and Cheese
