Frequently Asked Questions About Beet and Celery Tarator
What is Beet and Celery Tarator?

Is the celery in Beet and Celery Tarator raw or cooked?
The celery in Beet and Celery Tarator is usually raw and grated, which gives the mezze its crisp texture and fresh celery flavor. A squeeze of lemon after grating helps slow browning before you mix it with the yogurt.
Do you cook the beetroot for Beet and Celery Tarator?

Why does Beet and Celery Tarator turn watery?

What do you serve with Beet and Celery Tarator?
Beet and Celery Tarator is served chilled as a mezze or dip alongside grilled meat, fish, vegetables, or other small dishes. It also works with flatbread or crusty bread; its tangy yogurt and earthy beet flavor pair well with simply seasoned mains.
Can you make Beet and Celery Tarator ahead of time?

How long does Beet and Celery Tarator last in the fridge?
Beet and Celery Tarator keeps for a few days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Because it contains yogurt and grated vegetables, do not leave it at room temperature for long; discard it if its smell or appearance changes unusually.
Can you use Greek yogurt in Beet and Celery Tarator?
Yes, Greek yogurt works well in Beet and Celery Tarator and gives it a thicker, creamier texture. If it seems too dense, loosen it with a small spoonful of water or lemon juice before mixing in the grated vegetables.
Why is Beet and Celery Tarator pink?
Beet and Celery Tarator turns pink because beetroot releases its natural pigment into the yogurt. For a paler result, mix in the grated beet gradually; for a more vivid color, stir it through thoroughly and let the mezze chill.

What is Beet and Celery Tarator?
Beet and Celery Tarator is a Turkish-style cold mezze made by combining beetroot and celery with yoghurt. Garlic is a common seasoning, and some versions include walnuts or a little olive oil. Beetroot lends earthy sweetness and vivid colour, while celery brings a fresh, aromatic note; the yoghurt ties the vegetables together in a creamy dressing.
In Turkey, it is served chilled among other meze, often alongside grilled dishes or as part of a shared table. It also works as a dip with bread or crisp vegetables. The yoghurt gives it some protein, while the vegetables contribute fibre, making it a more substantial side than a plain salad. For a lighter texture, use regular yoghurt and go easy on the oil.
