This is a little snack we picked up from Israel. Watermelon and Feta!! Who would have thought. It's the classic salty and sweet mix. During the summer, any beach you go to in Israel, offers this as a snack. I was instantly hooked. All you do is cut up some watermelon, and mix with a little feta. I tend to find the feta in brine works better. Make this for your next trip to the beach, and you won't be disappointed.
This is super easy to do, so don't be intimidated.
*Take 2 cups of plain non-fat or low-fat yogurt ( I used Greek Style)
*Place in a couple layers of cheesecloth (I forgot to grab some at the store so I used 6 coffee filter, but cheesecloth would be easier)
*Put cheesecloth in a colander in the sink with a 2 pound bag of beans over it
*Let the liquid drain out of the yogurt for 6-8 hours
*Then wrap cheese tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate
* When ready to serve, drizzle with olive oil, and any type of spices or herbs
The Verdict: Abe was very suspicious and did not want to try it. But once he did, with a warm pita, he liked it. So everyone looking for a lowfat cheese to snack on, this is it.
