Homemade Labneh Cheese Yoghurt Dip

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt offers similar texture with added protein.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil provides healthy fats and a mild flavor.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: no herbs

Dried herbs are more accessible and have a longer shelf life.

pita bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: tortillas

Whole grain bread adds fiber, while tortillas are often less expensive.

Wash your muslin in hot water, rinse with cold water and wring dry. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, pour in the contents of your yoghurt. Add the salt and mix well until smooth.

In another deep bowl or container, line the muslin or cheesecloth (I used double fold) over a large sieve. Pour in the yoghurt mixture. Pick up each corner, twist into a ball until firm and refrigerate overnight or 24 hours.

The next day, remove from fridge and empty the cheesecloth content into a serving plate or bowl large and deep enough. Using a spoon, spread labneh into circle groves. Top with extra virgin olive oil, sumac, oregano and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with warm pita bread.
