Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1.5 tbsp raw honey
  • 3 figs quartered
  • 1/2 lemon zested
  • 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • tiny pinch of sumac optional

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together the yogurt and sea salt.
  • One a cheesecloth, scoop the mixture onto a layer of cheesecloth (or 2 layers, depending on the thickness of your yogurt).
  • Bring the edges of the cheesecloth together, tie it around a wooden spoon, and place the spoon across the top of a medium bowl so that the labneh hangs in the center but does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Chill overnight.
  • Remove the labneh from the cheesecloth and place it on a platter. Add the figs, walnuts, lemon zest, basil, and drizzle with honey.
  • Serve with fresh cucumbers, bread, or crackers and enjoy.
