The 10-minute claim ignores that lebneh requires straining Greek yogurt for at least 2–4 hours, so plan accordingly or use store-bought labneh if available. Greek yogurt, dates, parsley, lemon, olive oil, and salt are all standard grocery items at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart, with no special trips needed. At roughly $1.50–$2.00 per serving, this is genuinely cheap and works as a warm-weather dip or mezze component, though it does not travel or reheat—it's a same-night, room-temperature dish. The simplicity is its strength: minimal technique, no fussy cooking, and a natural fit for a light meal alongside bread or vegetables.
