Published Mar 08

Who doesn’t love labneh? We’re particularly obsessed with our spicy, flavorful take on this classic Middle Eastern dip.

There are a few secret ingredients at play in our garlic labneh dip: our very own hot sauce–which we mix with olive oil to transform into a chili oil; nigella seeds, which bring a unique flavor and a ton of health benefits, and lots of herbs in addition to the garlic. Served alongside warm pita bread and plenty of veg, this will easily become your new go-to staple for impressive entertaining.
