200 grams labneh 1.5 tablespoons zaatar ½ teaspoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint leaves 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley 1 tablespoon chopped toasted walnuts 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt to taste
Put the labneh in a bowl. Add 1.5 tablespoons olive oil, zaatar, salt, garlic, walnuts, parsley, and mint leaves. Mix everything.
Transfer to a serving bowl.
Drizzle remaining olive oil on top. Garnish with zaatar, pomegranate, and mint leaves.
Serve with falafels, vegetable sticks, or any other snack of your choice. You can also use it as a spread.
Both labneh and za'atar are salty, so add more salt carefully only if required.
Add pomegranate only after mixing the other ingredients with labneh.
Slightly dry roast the nuts before adding to the dip. Roasting makes the nuts more flavorful, aromatic and crunchy.
