Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
For serving:
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • mint leaves
  • pita
  • red radishes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a strainer or fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl and line it with a clean cheesecloth. Prepare string or rubber bands to use later.
  2. Mix together the Greek yogurt and salt in a small bowl until well combined.
  3. Scoop the Greek yogurt onto the cheesecloth and pull the edges together tightly so there are no openings around the edges for the yogurt to seep out.
  4. Tie the cheesecloth at the top with string or a rubber band so it is well-secured. Place it in the center of the strainer. Chill overnight in the refrigerator, or up to 24 hours for thicker labneh.
  5. Remove labneh from the cheesecloth and transfer to a small bowl for serving.
  6. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and garnish with your desired toppings and vegetables. Serve as a dip for pita or meats.
