Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | ounces | Neufchatel cheese, softened |
| ¼ | cup | Plain nonfat yogurt |
| 4 | ounces | Shredded reduced-fat 40% less-fat cheddar cheese |
| 4 | ounces | Shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese |
| 2 | teaspoons | Grated onion |
| 2 | teaspoons | Prepared horseradish |
| 1 | teaspoon | Country-style Dijon Mustard |

Directions
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 assorted unsalted crackers. NOTE: Prepare this crowd-pleasing appetizer up to a week ahead, if necessary. If you make the cheese ball more than a day ahead, wait until party time to add parsley.
