1/4 c Plain nonfat yogurt
4 oz Shredded reduced-fat 40%
-less-fat cheddar cheese
4 oz Shredded reduced-fat Swiss
-cheese
2 ts Grated onion
2 ts Prepared horseradish
1 ts Country-style Dijon Mustard
1/4 c Chopped fresh parsley
Combine Nuefchatel cheese and yogurt in a large mixing
bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until
smooth. Add cheddar cheese and next 4 ingredients;
stir well. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Shape
cheese mixture into a ball, and sprinkle with parsley.
Press parsley gently into cheese ball. Wrap cheese
ball in heavy-duty plastic wrap and chill. Serve with

ahead, wait until party time to add parsley. Yield 2
