INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices Dempster's® Multi Grain Bread, toasted
- 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) plain full-fat yogurt
- 1 tsp (5 mL) finely grated lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and cracked black pepper
- 1 cup (250 mL) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup (250 mL) halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp (5 mL) za'atar seasoning
DIRECTIONS
- Line fine-meshed sieve with double layer of cheesecloth and fit over bowl (sieve should not touch bottom of bowl). Place yogurt in sieve; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and let liquid drain for 1 to 2 days (the longer it sits, the thicker it will be). Squeeze cheesecloth gently to remove excess liquid.
- Stir together drained yogurt, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Spread evenly over toast. Top with chickpeas and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with za'atar seasoning.
Tips:
You can line sieve with coffee filters as a substitute for cheesecloth.
Top with cucumber slices if desired.
If you like, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, mint or cilantro.
