Steps 6

You'll need

1 cup Yaza Plain Labneh (flavors work too!)
1 tbsp Za’atar spice
2–3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1/4 cup diced cucumber
1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes (mixed colors look best)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Pita chips, toasted pita, or crackers for serving

Make it

Spread the Labneh

1
On a large wooden board or serving platter, spoon dollops of labneh and use the back of a spoon to spread them into small circular swirls, leaving slight indentations to catch toppings.

Add the Za’atar

2
Sprinkle za’atar over several of the labneh swirls, letting it naturally settle into the dips.

Add the Pomegranate Molasses

3
Spoon pomegranate molasses over the remaining labneh sections. A little goes a long way — aim for scattered droplets for contrast.

Top with Fresh Veggies

4
Scatter diced cucumbers and halved cherry tomatoes across the board, focusing on clusters for color and texture.

Finish

5
Add a splash of olive oil if you like, then finish with flaky salt and freshly cracked pepper.

Serve

6
Place pita chips, toasted flatbread, or crackers alongside the board and let everyone scoop as they please.

Make another.
