Instructions

Pour yogurt into a large bowl and sprinkle in the salt. Stir gently.
Line another bowl with a clean towel, transfer yogurt into the center, tie it up, and hang to drain for 24 to 48 hours.
After draining, spread in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with za’atar or herbs. Serve with warm pita and veggies.
Store in a tight-lid container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Drain longer for thicker labneh. Experiment with various herbs in the yogurt for different flavors. Ideal for serving as a centerpiece or with a veggie platter.
