Delicious 12 layer dip

I must be one of a handful of Americans who doesn't like sour cream. But, I do love plain yogurt. Yesterday while ripping the top off a new tub of Dannon Fat Free Plain, I noticed a recipe for this dip. Made with yogurt. Not sour cream.

Well, there's no time like the present to try a new recipe! It struck me that yogurt is runnier than sour cream, so I decided to strain the yogurt for a while to thicken it up. While that was happening, made a quick trip to Publix for the olives and refried beans.

The dip was delicious, and to save you the trouble of looking up the recipe, here it is:

2 1/2 cups ff plain yogurt, poured into a cheesecloth lined strainer and left for a couple of hours.
1 cup each sliced olives, shredded sharp cheddar, finely shredded lettuce, chunky salsa
1 can refried beans.

Mix beans with 1/3 cup salsa. Then layer in a glass pie plate or other flat dish:
1/2 the bean mixture
1 cup strained yogurt
1/2 cup olives
1/3 cup salsa
1/2 cup lettuce
1/2 cup cheese.
Repeat the layers.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill.

Serve with corn chips.
