Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt and salt. Mix well until the salt is evenly distributed.

Step 2

Take a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and lay it in a fine-mesh strainer or sieve. Place the strainer over a bowl.

Step 3

Pour the yogurt mixture into the cheesecloth-lined strainer. Gather the edges of the cloth to form a pouch, and secure it with a rubber band or kitchen twine.

Step 4

Place the strainer in the refrigerator and let it drain for at least 12 hours or overnight. This will allow the whey to separate from the yogurt, resulting in a thicker Labneh.

After draining, remove the Labneh from the cheesecloth and transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and add your choice of optional toppings like fresh herbs, olives, or za'atar.
