Labneh with Cucumbers
Labneh is essentially strained yogourt and very popular in greece and the middle east. I discovered labneh through my lebanese friends, and it’s been a staple in my fridge since then. If you’ve never had labneh, the way I would describe it is a dryer and denser version of yogourt.
Labneh is mostly used as a dip for pita, bread, vegetables and even chips. I mostly use labneh with veegetables and pita.
Since my girlfriend is celiac, I mostly use labneh with cucumbers, at it pairs perfectly together. In this recipe I garnish the labneh with sumac and olive oil, but it is more traditionally garnished with spices such as zaatar, mint or parsley.
Labneh is an easy way to mix it up for party snacks, an appetizer, or even a movie snack.
Bon Appétit!
