INGREDIENTS (4-6 servings)

• 1 to 2 cups labneh (can be substituted with full fat Greek yogurt, sour cream, whipped feta or mascarpone with a little bit of lemon juice)

• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 5-7 sprigs of rosemary
• 2 cloves of garlic
• zest of 1/2 lemon
• freshly cracked pepper
• salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Finely mince the sprigs of rosemary, reserving one for later, together with the 2 garlic cloves. Once minced, add them in a bowl and drizzle the olive oil on top of the rosemary and garlic and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Mix, mix, mix! You can let the flavors infuse overnight if you want to make this a day ahead, but that’s optional.

Step 2

Next, plate the labneh on your chosen serving dish, creating some swirls in it with a spoon or a spatula.

Step 3

Add the rosemary garlic oil on top of the labneh. Sprinkle the leaves of the reserved rosemary sprig on top of the dip, for an elevated look. Sprinkle some more salt on top, add the lemon zest and some freshly cracked black pepper.
