Preparation

Prepare the Yogurt

In a mixing bowl, add the Lebanese yogurt. If using plain yogurt, you can strain it through a cheesecloth for a thicker texture.

Season the Yogurt

Sprinkle the salt over the yogurt and mix well until fully combined.

Chop the Mint

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and set aside for garnish.

Drizzle Olive Oil

Pour the olive oil over the seasoned yogurt, allowing it to create a beautiful drizzle on top.

Garnish

Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the yogurt and olive oil mixture.

Warm the Pita

Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet until soft and pliable.
