— -- Cheese can be a hard thing to give up when on a diet. But Sara Moulton says this herbed yogurt cheese from "Sara Moulton Cooks at Home" is a great option for cheese lovers because it's low in fat and high in flavor. Using low-fat yogurt cuts down on calories and the chives give the cheese a great taste, so you don't feel like you're missing out.

Ingredients
2 cups low-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme, preferably lemon thyme
1 small shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
