Ingredients
- 500 grams/ 1 lb 2 oz labneh
- 250 grams/ 9 oz goat feta cheese

- 10 Lebanese cucumbers
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Crumble the feta cheese and mix together with labneh, walnuts, garlic and dried mint, using a hand blender pulse until creamy.
- Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin shaves, pat them dry with paper towels.
- Transfer the labneh and feta dip to a large shallow plate and roll the slices up and put them atop of the labneh-feta dip in a circular pattern (I used both flesh and cucumber peels) to create a contrast of colors.
- Decorate with pomegranate seeds, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil upon serving, enjoy it with pita bread, crackers, pita toasts or chips.
