Karim’s Classic Labneh Board

Serves 6 (or 1 hungry Karim) | Prep Time: 15 minutes 

Butter boards are so last year… it’s all about the labneh board now. Karim’s recipe is based on a classic labneh dip but instead of mixing it all up – we make it look pretty on a board! 🌿

 

Karim's Classic Labneh Board

This combo is peak Lebanese energy: creamy labneh, herby za’atar, sweet-tangy pomegranate molasses, plus tomato and cucumber for crunch. It’s like a Mediterranean group hug on a plate.
Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

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
  1. Sprinkle za’atar over several of the labneh swirls, letting it naturally settle into the dips.
Drizzle the Pomegranate Molasses
  1. Drizzle pomegranate molasses over the remaining labneh sections. A little goes a long way — aim for scattered droplets for contrast.
Top with Fresh Veggies
  1. Scatter diced cucumbers and halved cherry tomatoes across the board, focusing on clusters for color and texture.
Finish
  1. Add a drizzle of olive oil if you like, then finish with flaky salt and freshly cracked pepper.
Serve
  1. Place pita chips, toasted flatbread, or crackers alongside the board and let everyone scoop as they please.
