A real crowd pleaser! Have made multiple times with labne or Greek yogurt and it’s always a hit.

All timer. Put sriracha in the chile oil if it isn’t turning red

SO good. Loved by all. Can be a bit spicy, so cut down on the chili flakes if you're sensitive to spice.

My absolute go-to dip for a party. It’s quick, easy and always gets compliments

Very quick, easy, and a yummy, tangy pairing with bread, or as a side sauce with grilled or roasted meat and veggies. Easy instructions for making a quick scallion oil, but any chili oil can be substituted.

If you are going to make one thing for a cocktail party or gathering, make this. It is ridiculously simple and so delicious. Taking a tip from Dining In, I’ve been adding preserved lemon to the labne.

I've made this a couple times and always enjoyed (I always have the ingredients) but never been wildly blown away. I made it recently for a dinner party for which I fried a number of onions, and using that oil instead of the olive oil brought it to a new level.

Love this!! Definitely best with Labneh but it can be hard to find.

Loved this! I used yogurt and I was skeptical that it would live up to its hype, but it did! Even my son admitted it made a tasty dip for his tater tots.

This dip is so good! And I love that she includes options for the base!

Quick, easy and perfect to throw together at short notice because I generally have all the ingredients on hand. I did have a bit of time so I made labne, but you could get away with plain Greek yogurt. Will make again!

I made a smaller portion of this for us tonight as a "test batch". I used 1/3 cup Greek yogurt and 1/3 cup sour cream but made 1/2 of the chili oil mixture. However, as soap tasters I did not use use cilantro (but used more green onions, chives, parsley and some minced garlic with the dried chili flakes). Yes, we really liked it with Canadian Living's version of crispy breadsticks!

Made for a New Year’s Eve appetizer. I’m not sure I loved it but received several compliments, and a friend said it got better through the evening. My olive oil never acquired the “fiery red” color the red pepper flakes were supposed to impart...I was kind of looking forward to it...

This recipe is brilliant. It is quick and easy to make and absolutely delicious. I didn't have labne so I used whole milk Greek yogurt. We ate it with wasa crackers, which was my favorite combination, and cucumbers, peppers and carrots.
