Ingredients
- 1 quart (4 cups) low-fat Plain Yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Shelled Pistachios
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or Agrumato Lemon OilAgrumato lemon oil is created when olives are pressed together with lemons. The resulting extra-virgin olive oil has an exceptionally bright lemony flavor. It's worth seeking out at gourmet markets or well-stocked natural-foods stores. If you can't find it, substitute 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
- 1 tablespoon chopped Fresh Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground SumacThe tart red berries of the Mediterranean sumac bush add fruity, sour flavor to many regional dishes. Find ground sumac in Middle Eastern markets, specialty-food shops and online.
Directions
Lemony Labneh with Pistachios have olive oil and lemon zest which give this dip a fresh, bright flavor. Labneh, the thick, slightly salty Middle Eastern strained yogurt, is easy to make at home with this recipe.
