Instructions

1. If you’re using Greek yogurt, you’ll want to prepare it the night before. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP because it’s key to getting the right texture. You’ll want to strain the yogurt to turn it into labneh. Place a strainer over a bowl, and line with cheesecloth or coffee filters. Add the Greek yogurt, and wrap the cheesecloth around it (or cover with another coffee filter). Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 12 hours.
2. Mix everything together in a medium bowl. Serve with veggies and crackers or spread on a sandwich or toast!
