Frequently Asked Questions About Dill Meze
What is Dill Meze?
Dill Meze is a chilled yogurt-based meze in which fresh dill gives the mixture its characteristic flavor. Recipes may include garlic or other additions, so the exact taste and texture vary from one kitchen to another.
How do you make Dill Meze?
Dill Meze is made by stirring chopped fresh dill into yogurt. Mix the yogurt until smooth, add the dill and any optional garlic, then chill it before serving so the flavors can come together.
What do you serve with Dill Meze?
Dill Meze is served cold alongside grilled meat, fish, or vegetables, and works as a dip with bread. It also fits on a meze platter with other chilled dips and small dishes.
How is Dill Meze different from haydari?
Dill Meze puts dill at the center of the flavor, while haydari is commonly thicker and more strongly defined by strained yogurt and garlic. Recipes overlap, but Dill Meze is not simply another name for haydari.
Can Dill Meze be made ahead?
Yes, Dill Meze can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator until serving. The dill flavor becomes more pronounced as it sits, so add a little fresh dill on top just before serving if you want a brighter finish.
How do you stop Dill Meze from becoming watery?
Use thick yogurt and dry the dill thoroughly before mixing to help keep Dill Meze from becoming watery. If you add cucumber or another watery ingredient, drain or squeeze out its liquid first.
Can you freeze Dill Meze?
No, freezing Dill Meze is usually a poor choice because yogurt can separate and turn grainy when thawed. Make it fresh or refrigerate it instead to preserve its creamy texture.
Can you make Dill Meze with Greek yogurt?
Yes, Greek yogurt works well in Dill Meze and gives it a thicker, tangier texture. If the mixture feels too dense, stir in a little plain yogurt until it reaches a consistency that is easy to dip or spoon.
What can you add to Dill Meze besides dill?
Garlic is a common addition to Dill Meze, and some versions include cucumber or other fresh herbs. Add extras sparingly and drain watery ingredients first so they do not overwhelm the dill or loosen the yogurt.
Is Dill Meze a healthy choice?
Dill Meze can be a satisfying side dish, with yogurt contributing protein and calcium. Its overall nutritional profile changes with the yogurt and added ingredients, so it works best as one part of a varied meal rather than a complete meal on its own.

What is Dill Meze?
Dill Meze is a cool Turkish yogurt-based dip, usually mixed with chopped fresh dill and often garlic. It belongs to the broad tradition of meze—small dishes shared at the table—and home versions vary in thickness and seasoning.
Its tangy, creamy base and fragrant dill make it a natural partner for grilled vegetables or meat, bread, and other mezze. In Turkey it is commonly served chilled as part of a shared spread; elsewhere, it also works as a dip or a simple side. Yogurt gives it some protein and calcium, though it is generally an accompaniment rather than a complete meal. For a lighter version, choose a less rich yogurt and use oil sparingly.
