Herb salad with curd cheese is a fresh salad made by mixing soft curds with chopped herbs and a simple dressing. In Turkish versions, the herbs often include parsley, dill, and spring onion; recipes vary with the season and household.
To make herb salad with curd cheese, wash and thoroughly dry fresh herbs, chop them finely, then fold them into the cheese. Add olive oil and lemon juice, season to taste, and mix shortly before serving so the herbs stay fresh.
Parsley, dill, and spring onion are common choices for herb salad with curd cheese. Mint, basil, or a little rocket can add a different flavor; use strong-tasting herbs sparingly so they do not overwhelm the mild curds.
Use fresh, mild curd cheese that is not excessively wet for herb salad with curd cheese. Turkish lor is a soft, crumbly cheese; it is not always identical to cottage cheese or ricotta. Drain watery curds first to keep the salad from turning soggy.
Herb salad with curd cheese pairs well with grilled vegetables, bread, and grilled meat or fish. Serve it as a cool side at lunch or dinner, or spoon it onto toast for a simple light meal.
You can wash, dry, and chop the herbs ahead, but it is better to combine them with the curd and dressing shortly before serving. Once mixed, the herbs release moisture and lose their crisp, fresh texture.
Store herb salad with curd cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator and return it to the cold promptly after serving. Its texture is best fresh; discard it if it develops an unusual smell or appearance rather than tasting it to check.
Crumbled farmer cheese or a similar mild fresh cheese can replace curd cheese in herb salad with curd cheese. Cottage cheese also works if well drained, though its texture is wetter and less crumbly than Turkish lor.
Herb salad with curd cheese is associated with Turkish home cooking, where fresh herbs and lor are familiar ingredients. There is no single fixed recipe: the herb mix and dressing can change by region, season, and family.
To keep herb salad with curd cheese from getting watery, dry the washed herbs thoroughly and drain any excess liquid from the curd. Add salt and lemon juice just before serving, since both draw moisture out as the salad sits.

In Turkish home cooking, herb salad with curd cheese brings chopped fresh herbs together with soft, mild lor, a fresh whey cheese. The herbs add a bright, grassy flavour, while the cheese gives the salad a creamy, gently tangy base. It is often dressed simply with olive oil and lemon.
Serve it as a light lunch, alongside grilled dishes, or as part of a Turkish-style breakfast spread; fresh bread makes a good match. It is a fresh, relatively protein-rich choice, with 6.1 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter version, use a restrained hand with the oil and add the dressing shortly before serving.
