Frequently Asked Questions About Celery with strained yogurt
How do you make celery with strained yogurt?
To make celery with strained yogurt, grate celeriac and mix it with thick strained yogurt, crushed garlic, salt and a little lemon juice. Chill it before serving so the flavors combine, then finish with olive oil or chopped walnuts if you like.
Is celery with strained yogurt made with raw or cooked celery?
Celery with strained yogurt is usually made with raw grated celeriac, which keeps the salad crisp and fresh. For a softer texture and mellower flavor, briefly sauté the grated root and let it cool completely before mixing it with yogurt.
What kind of celery is used in celery with strained yogurt?
Celery with strained yogurt uses the knobby celeriac root, not the long green celery stalks commonly used for dipping. Peel the root before grating, since its rough outer skin is too tough for this salad.
How do you stop celery with strained yogurt from turning brown?
Add lemon juice to the grated celeriac as soon as you prepare it; this slows the browning that happens when the cut root meets air. Mix it with the yogurt soon afterward and keep the finished salad covered in the refrigerator.
Can you make celery with strained yogurt with Greek yogurt?
Yes, Greek yogurt works well in celery with strained yogurt because it is thick and tangy, much like Turkish strained yogurt. If yours is looser, drain it first so the salad does not become watery.
What should you serve with celery with strained yogurt?
Serve celery with strained yogurt as a chilled meze alongside grilled meat, chicken, or other small dishes. It also works with warm flatbread and a spread of Turkish-style appetizers; add walnuts just before serving for crunch.
Can celery with strained yogurt be made ahead?
Yes, you can make celery with strained yogurt ahead and refrigerate it covered; chilling gives the garlic and yogurt time to flavor the celeriac. Add any nuts or fresh herbs just before serving to keep their texture and aroma.
Can you freeze celery with strained yogurt?
Freezing celery with strained yogurt is not recommended. The yogurt can separate and turn grainy as it thaws, while the grated celeriac loses its fresh crunch; prepare a smaller batch and keep it chilled instead.
Why does celery with strained yogurt taste bitter?
Celery with strained yogurt can taste bitter if the celeriac is old, has been stored poorly, or includes too much of its tough outer layer. Peel it generously, taste the grated root before mixing, and balance its flavor with lemon and yogurt.
Can celery with strained yogurt be served warm?
Celery with strained yogurt is generally served cold or chilled, not hot. If you sauté the grated celeriac for a milder taste, let it cool fully before adding yogurt, since heat can make the yogurt runny or separate.

What is Celery with strained yogurt?
Celery with strained yogurt is a Turkish-style meze made by combining grated celery root with thick, strained yogurt. Depending on the household and recipe, the celery may be used raw or lightly cooked, and garlic or walnuts may be added.
The yogurt’s mild tang balances celery root’s distinctive, earthy flavour, while the finished dish is cool, creamy and pleasantly crisp. In Turkey it is commonly served as part of a meze spread or alongside a main meal; it also works well with grilled vegetables or meat. The yogurt contributes protein and the celery provides some fibre, making this a fairly light choice. For a lighter version, keep added oil and walnuts modest.
