Ingredients
- Sliced crusty bread
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1garlic clove, peeled
- 2cups full-fat Greek yogurt or labneh
- 1large, ripe tomato, halved horizontally
- Salt and black pepper
Preparation
- Step 1
Brush the bread with olive oil and toast under the broiler or on the grill. While still warm, rub with the garlic clove until you smell garlic. Set aside.
- Step 2
Spoon the yogurt into a shallow bowl and spread into an even layer. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the cut sides of the tomato on top of the yogurt. Discard or compost skins. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve right away with the bread for dipping.

As hard as I try to believe Ali is right with 'there’s no need to embellish it,' I don't think I can refrain from showering it with some fresh basil, cilantro, mint or other fresh herb.
I don’t normally review but feel like this needs some love. One of the highest yield, lowest input recipes I’ve ever made. Absolutely delicious and needs nothing but some good sourdough!
I just had this for lunch with crackers. Just awesome fresh yogurt grated tomato and salt and pepper. Don’t knock it till you try it.
Delicious. Even better if you strain the yogurt (even full-fat Greek) overnight. The grated tomato with its juice brings the ultra-thick yogurt to exactly the right consistency.
My first review on NYT cooking and I have subscribed for many years. I followed the recipe exactly using labneh and a ripe heirloom tomato with toasted sourdough bread. Totally wowed my family and the effort was so minimal.
Literally made this for a dip party, remember it last minute. Went on to have the best dip at the party - can’t recommend enough. Added finely cropped mint and basil and a drizzle of EVOO to finish
