Lebneh 2 Ways

Labneh 2 Ways

I truly have a relationship with labneh and this is me taking it to the next level! Summer season is my favorite produce season. Eating tomatoes and peaches raw is the best way to enjoy there natural fresh and juicy flavors. I combined my two favorite things into easy summer dishes.

You can make this when a friend is coming over to nibble on, as a quick snack or lunch! To bring the savory labneh to the next level you can add some prosciutto or sopressata for that extra salty meaty bite. For the sweet labneh you can shave some chocolate, or drizzle some nut butter or chocolate hazelnut spread to add a richer chocolate bite.

Look up times to your local farmers market and make the best of summer’s finest produce. Enjoy it while it lasts!
