This creamy, tangy dip is inspired by Middle Eastern labneh. Thick Greek yogurt is drained to achieve a rich texture, then combined with fresh spring onions, dill and mint. Finished with a drizzle of olive oil, it's an ideal buffet or canape dish, serving eight alongside other food. The preparation takes about 65 minutes, with most of that time being hands-off chilling.
