Notes
- You can find labneh in well-stocked grocery stores, especially those that carry Mediterranean or Middle Eastern ingredients. If you are in the U.S., you can find labneh at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. I was also able to find it in my local Shop Rite. It's usually located in the dairy section (in containers) near the yogurt or specialty/international food sections.
