What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture that holds up to the toppings.
- 2Slice avocado just before serving to prevent oxidation and browning.
- 3Let the yogurt sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to take the chill off and boost flavor.
- 4Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes for a nuttier crunch.
- 5For a thicker bowl, strain the yogurt through cheesecloth overnight to make Greek-style labneh.
- 6Drizzle honey last so it stays visible and doesn't get absorbed into the yogurt.
