I tried to make cheese once and it didn't turn out—not a reliable recipe. I'll definately give yours a try. I'm sure it'll work out., and BTW the salad sound delicious!Mireya @myhealthyeatinghabitshttp://www.myhealthyeatinghabits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875549432022553592.post-76867663389117210852012-07-09T11:06:54.866-06:002012-07-09T11:06:54.866-06:00@Martha So cool--thanks!

Since I live in Phoenix,<br />where it is hotter than hot, all summer, love your technique of<br />roasting them in the microwave. And add me to the list of people<br />who have been inspired to make (or at least seriously think about<br />making) homemade ricotta!Martha@ Simple Nourished Livinghttp://simple-nourished-living.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875549432022553592.post-30510120394386187762012-07-07T18:15:59.038-06:002012-07-07T18:15:59.038-06:00@Ellen.

Literally, bring to a simmer 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup plain yogurt, 2t plain vinegar (or lemon juice), 1 t salt until you see curds--happens quickly. Pour through a cheesecloth-lined strainer. Let drain 15 minutes. There's your soft cheese that you'd use for this dish. If you'd like it more firm, twist it up in the cloth and refrigerate a while. I like to put it in a bowl with a bit of honey and cracked black pepper--great on grilled baguette. MAKE CHEESE!!!! (OK, I'M DONE!)

Instead of just saying that, I should make some, also.<br /><br />This salad looks terrific and I certainly want to make it.
