Preparation

1. Place yogurt in a fine strainer set over a bowl, and refrigerate for 8 hours to allow moisture to drain out.
2. Discard the liquid, and place the yogurt in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
3. Transfer the mixture to a piece of plastic wrap about 10 inches long, and roll it into a log about 5 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Serve the cheese with toast, crackers or bread. It is good served as part of a salad accompaniment; arrange chunks on each plate, or spread on small toasts or untoasted baguette slices.
