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 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.
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!
Highly recommend safety grater (that large, flat rectangular grater with a handle) for grating tomatoes for this and for tomato sandwiches. You can pretty much push the tomato through and the rub the last bits off the skin. The safety grater earns its keep every summer!
I made this and found the yogurt WAY overpowered the tomato flavor. I won’t do it again, I prefer my fresh summer tomatoes to taste like tomatoes, not yogurt.
Wow, this is delicious. Use really delicious/fresh bread and yummy flavorful olive oil. This dish is perfect for a WARM day when you don’t want to turn on the oven/stove. This is a winner. Excited to make this for guests this summer.
