Bodrum meze with yogurt, garlic and herbs is a cool, spoonable meze from Turkey’s Aegean coast, associated with Bodrum. It combines yogurt with garlic and herbs, which can vary by cook and season.
The tangy yogurt softens the garlic’s bite, making it a refreshing part of a meze spread. In Turkey it is served alongside other small plates, grilled food, bread or fresh vegetables; it also works well at home as a dip. Yogurt gives it some protein, while its overall richness depends on the yogurt used. For a lighter version, choose lower-fat plain yogurt and adjust the garlic and herbs to taste.
