Ingredients

500g Asda Fat Free Greek Style Yogurt

15g Fresh Mint

4 tbsp Olive Oil, plus extra to garnish

3 tbsp Lemon Juice

½ Cucumber, cut into small cubes

2 Just Essentials by Asda Salad Tomatoes, cut into small cubes

4 Spring Onions, trimmed and chopped

8 Radishes, trimmed and sliced

400g can Asda Chickpeas in Water, drained and rinsed

Method

1
To make the labneh, add the yogurt to a medium bowl and stir through 1 tsp fine salt. Line a sieve with 2 sheets of kitchen roll and place over a bowl, add the yogurt to the kitchen roll and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours to strain.
2
To make the salad, finely chop most of the mint, leaving some leaves to garnish. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and chopped mint for the dressing. Season well. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, spring onions, radishes and chickpeas to the dressing and toss so that everything is coated. Set aside for 15 mins to infuse.
3
When ready to serve, remove the labneh from the fridge, discard the liquid and share the strained yogurt between 4 plates. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it into a circular shape. Top with salad, remaining mint leaves, a drizzle of oil and pepper.
