Caramelized Scallion Labneh Dip

Cool, creamy and refreshing, labneh is a traditional Middle Eastern food, stemming back from ancient times. Made from strained yogurt, labneh was an important source of protein for the Bedouin tribes and holds a central space in Armenian, Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian and Israeli culinary traditions. It can be made from goat, sheep, cow, camel or buffalo milk, each with its distinct flavor, and you can purchase it or make your own by straining a thinner plain yogurt. An excellent source of protein, calcium and Vitamin A, labneh also offers gut-boosting probiotics.
