Description
This labneh dip with pomegranate is a delicious party dip recipe for entertaining. Made with strained yogurt, it’s reminiscent of cream cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (we used California Olive Ranch)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- Crackers or crostini, to serve
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the yogurt and kosher salt. Pour the yogurt into a cheesecloth or handkerchief and tie it over a wooden spoon. Hang the cheesecloth over a pitcher and allow to strain in a refrigerator for 24 hours. After 24 hours, discard the whey strained from the yogurt. Transfer the labneh to a container or use immediately (keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks).
- Prior to serving, seed the pomegranate: Go to How to Cut a Pomegranate.
- To serve, spread the labneh on a platter. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and sage. Serve with crackers or bread.
