Labneh Mtaoumeh (لبنة متومة) is a Lebanese mezze dish made from strained yogurt (labneh) seasoned with garlic, salt, and mint. Drizzled with olive oil. The crushed garlic adds a bold, aromatic kick that balances beautifully with the tang of the yogurt. It’s creamy, tangy, and deeply satisfying—often served as a dip, spread, or side to grilled meats, vegetables, or warm pita.
