Ingredients

• 500 grams full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 50 ml extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried mint or za'atar

Directions

Step 1

Line a large sieve with a double layer of cheesecloth or a clean dish towel, and set it over a large bowl. Ensure that there is enough space below the sieve for liquid to collect without touching the cloth.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the salt and stir well to incorporate.

Step 3

Pour the salted yogurt into the prepared cheesecloth. Gather the ends of the cloth and tie them together securely.

Step 4

Place the setup in the refrigerator, allowing it to sit and strain for 24 hours. The whey will drain out, leaving you with thick, creamy labneh.

Step 5

Once strained, remove the labneh from the cheesecloth and transfer it to a serving bowl.

Step 6

Use a spoon to create a small well in the center of the labneh. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the top, allowing it to pool slightly in the well.

Step 7

Sprinkle the freshly ground black pepper over the surface and finish with dried mint or za'atar for added flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately with keto-friendly crackers, fresh vegetable sticks, or as a creamy addition to salads.
