Notes
- Refrigerate turkish labne overnight until the bulgur grains absorb the labne and become tender.
- Use salted crackers to dip in the turkish labne if you're not in the mood for baking your own chips.
- Sprinkle some of the zaatar mix (without olive oil) over the labne for an extra kick of flavor.
- If you're a fan of spice, add some chili powder into the labne or finely chop some Jalapeño Pepper.
