Instructions
0 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. 1 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. 2 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.View original recipe
