A chilled, layered dip made with creamy labneh, fresh herbs, and crispy fried onions for texture. This Mediterranean dip is savory without being heavy and works well served cold with chips or crisp bread.

Crispy Onions
Toppings
Labneh Dip: Add the labneh, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon zest, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, salt, chives, parsley, and dill to a mixing bowl. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

tsp Dijon mustard
tsp honey
tsp lemon zest
tsp onion powder
tsp garlic powder
tsp white pepper
pinch of salt
tbsp fresh chives
tbsp fresh Italian parsley
tbsp fresh dill
Crispy Onions: Using a mandoline or sharp knife, thinly shave the shallots and onion. Add them to a saucepan and pour in enough olive oil to fully cover. Place over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until the oil begins to bubble, then reduce to low and cook until lightly golden, about 10-13 minutes. The shallots should be crisp while the onions will be softer and slightly jammy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Assemble: Spread a layer of the labneh dip into a shallow serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped chives and parsley, then top with a layer of crispy onions. Repeat the layering 3-4 times, using slightly less dip each time so the layers stack upward and form a peak (see video). Finish with the herbs and a generous layer of crispy onions on top. Serve with chips or bread.
