Ingredients
- 6 cups Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces feta
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- ⅓ cup Dill chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried mint
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Line a colander with a cheese towel or muslin cloth and place it over a bowl. Transfer the Greek yogurt into the lined colander. Let it sit for about 2 hours in the refrigerator to allow excess water to drain out.
- After straining (if applicable), transfer the strained yogurt or labneh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the crumbled feta cheese into the yogurt until well combined.
- Grate the garlic cloves directly into the yogurt and feta mixture. Add chopped fresh dill, chopped parsley, dried mint, and salt.
- Mix all the ingredients well, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate haydari for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once chilled, transfer haydari to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill or a sprinkle of dried mint before serving.
