Frequently Asked Questions About Herbed haydari
What is herbed haydari?
Herbed haydari is a thick Turkish yogurt meze made with garlic, herbs, and often olive oil. It is served chilled as a dip or alongside grilled foods, rather than as a pourable yogurt sauce.
How do you make herbed haydari?
Mix thick strained yogurt with finely chopped herbs, crushed garlic, and a little olive oil to make herbed haydari. Chill it before serving so the flavors blend, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Is herbed haydari the same as tzatziki?
No, herbed haydari is usually thicker and centers on strained yogurt, garlic, and herbs. Tzatziki commonly includes cucumber, while haydari is often made without it and served as a denser Turkish meze.
What herbs go in herbed haydari?
Dill, mint, and parsley are common choices for herbed haydari, and some versions include basil or other fresh greens. Chop the herbs finely and dry them well after washing to help keep the dip thick.
What do you serve with herbed haydari?
Herbed haydari pairs well with kebabs, grilled vegetables, meat, or fish, and it is also served with bread as part of a meze spread. Its thick texture makes it easy to scoop or spread.
Can you make herbed haydari ahead of time?
Yes, herbed haydari can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator until serving. Give it a gentle stir before bringing it to the table, and add any finishing olive oil just before serving.
How long does herbed haydari last in the fridge?
Herbed haydari keeps for about 2–3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Use a clean spoon each time, and discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or a change in color.
Can you freeze herbed haydari?
Freezing herbed haydari is not recommended because yogurt can separate and turn grainy as it thaws. The fresh herbs may also lose their texture, so it is better to prepare only what you can refrigerate and serve soon.
Can Greek yogurt be used to make herbed haydari?
Yes, plain Greek yogurt works well in herbed haydari because it is thick and strained. Choose an unsweetened version, then adjust the garlic, herbs, and olive oil to suit the texture and flavor you want.
Can herbed haydari be used as a sandwich spread?
Yes, herbed haydari can be spread in a sandwich or wrap in place of a sauce. Its thick texture works especially well with grilled vegetables or meat; avoid adding wet ingredients that could make the bread soggy.

What is Herbed haydari?
Herbed haydari is a Turkish cold dip made with thick, strained yogurt, garlic and herbs; dill or mint are common, though the mix varies by cook. It has a dense, creamy texture and a pleasantly tangy, savoury flavour, with the garlic and herbs cutting through the richness.
In Turkey it is served chilled as part of a meze spread, alongside grilled dishes, or simply scooped up with bread. It also works well as a dip with raw vegetables. Its yogurt base gives it protein and calcium, while the oil often added makes it richer than plain yogurt. For a lighter version, use less oil and pair it with cucumber or pepper strips.
