Haydari is a refreshing and creamy Turkish yogurt dip made with Greek yogurt, feta cheese, garlic, fresh herbs, olive oil, and a touch of lemon juice. It is perfect as a light appetizer or a flavorful accompaniment to grilled meats, bread, or vegetables.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 260 g Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp feta cheese
  • 1 fresh garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tsp finely chopped fresh mint
  • 3 tsp finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp fine salt (or to taste)
  • Juice of half a lemon (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine feta and garlic: Place the feta cheese and crushed garlic in a bowl. Use a fork to mash and blend these ingredients together until they form a fairly smooth mixture.
  2. Add yogurt and herbs: Stir in the Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh mint, and fresh dill. Mix thoroughly to create an evenly combined dip.
  3. Incorporate olive oil: Pour in the olive oil and mix well to add richness and smoothness to the dip.
  4. Season and finish: Add fine salt and the juice of half a lemon to taste. Adjust seasoning according to your preference, then stir one final time to blend all flavors perfectly.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and herbs according to your taste preferences.
  • This dip can be served immediately or chilled for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Haydari pairs beautifully with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or grilled meats.
