Questions

Can I make Labneh Salad dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1 cup labneh. Swap the labneh for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Labneh Salad keep?

Dressed, it is best the day it is made. Keep the components separate and refrigerated and they hold about two days; dress just before serving.

Can I halve or double Labneh Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
