Frequently Asked Questions About Celery Beet Tarator
How do you make celery beet tarator?
Celery beet tarator is made by mixing grated celery root and beetroot with yogurt. Garlic and olive oil are common additions, while walnuts are optional. Use cooked, cooled beetroot and drain excess liquid so the yogurt stays thick.
Is celery beet tarator served hot or cold?
Celery beet tarator is served cold, as a meze or side dish. Chilling it briefly lets the flavors come together; add any crunchy toppings just before serving so they do not soften in the yogurt.
Can you use celery stalks instead of celery root in celery beet tarator?
Celery root is the usual choice for celery beet tarator because it grates into a firm, mild base. Chopped celery stalks can work in a pinch, but they contain more water and give the dish a crunchier, less cohesive texture.
Can you make celery beet tarator with roasted beetroot?
Yes, roasted beetroot works well in celery beet tarator. Let it cool completely and drain any juices before mixing it with the yogurt; roasting gives the beet a more concentrated, earthy sweetness than boiling.
What goes well with celery beet tarator?
Celery beet tarator pairs well with grilled meats, fish, flatbread, and other meze. Its cool, tangy yogurt base also balances richer dishes, so it works as part of a shared spread rather than only as a dip.
Why does celery beet tarator turn watery?
Celery beet tarator turns watery when the vegetables release liquid into the yogurt. Cool cooked beetroot, drain it well, and use thick yogurt; if the celery is especially moist, squeeze it lightly after grating.
Can you make celery beet tarator ahead of time?
Yes, you can make celery beet tarator ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. The flavors meld as it rests, but the vegetables may release a little liquid, so stir it before serving and add toppings at the end.
Can you freeze celery beet tarator?
Freezing celery beet tarator is not recommended. Yogurt can separate as it thaws, leaving the meze watery and grainy, and the celery loses its crisp texture. Refrigerate a fresh batch instead.
Is celery beet tarator a healthy side dish?
Celery beet tarator can be a nourishing side dish: it combines vegetables with yogurt, which contributes protein and a creamy texture. The amount of salt, oil, and added toppings affects the overall balance, so serve it alongside other foods.
How do you stop celery beet tarator from staining everything pink?
You cannot keep beetroot from tinting celery beet tarator once the ingredients are mixed; the color naturally spreads through the yogurt. For a more patterned appearance, fold the beet in gently at the end instead of stirring thoroughly.

What is Celery Beet Tarator?
Celery Beet Tarator is a Turkish-style meze made with celery, beetroot and yogurt. The vegetables bring an earthy sweetness and a fresh, gently sharp note, while the yogurt makes the mixture creamy; its texture can be soft or slightly crisp depending on how the vegetables are prepared. It is usually served chilled as part of a spread of small dishes or alongside a main meal.
For English-speaking readers, it works much like a bright, cooling vegetable dip, though it is just as at home beside grilled food or beans. It is a relatively light, vegetable-forward choice, with 65 calories per 100 g. Serve it with warm flatbread or other meze, and use plain rather than thick strained yogurt for a looser, lighter finish.
