Pasteurized Labneh Bowl with Walnuts, Pomegranate and Mint

Labneh is strained yogurt taken a step further — thicker, tangier, almost spreadable. Because it's a soft, fresh cheese, it's important to use labneh made specifically from pasteurized milk, which is easy to find at most grocery stores or Middle Eastern markets and is the version used here.

Topped with crunchy walnuts, juicy pomegranate seeds, and fresh mint, this bowl turns a simple dairy snack into something genuinely calcium-rich and satisfying, with a good dose of protein from the labneh itself. It takes only minutes to put together and works equally well as a light breakfast or an afternoon snack.

A drizzle of good olive oil and a pinch of flaky salt over the top finishes it off nicely.
