Frequently Asked Questions About Piyaz Halva
What is Piyaz Halva?
Piyaz Halva is a bean salad served with tahini halva. The halva is an accompaniment, not necessarily an ingredient mixed into the salad, so the dish brings together savory beans and a sweet sesame-based side.
How do you make Piyaz Halva?
To make Piyaz Halva, toss cooked white beans with onion, parsley, olive oil, and lemon juice or vinegar. Serve tahini halva separately alongside the salad; garnishes and dressing can vary between recipes.
Is Piyaz Halva the same as Antalya piyaz?
No. In Piyaz Halva, tahini halva is served alongside the bean salad. Antalya-style piyaz is known for tahini incorporated into its dressing, so it is a different preparation even though both involve beans and tahini.
Do you mix the halva into Piyaz Halva?
Usually, no: the tahini halva is served separately rather than crumbled into the bean salad. Keeping it on the side preserves the contrast between the salad’s tangy, savory flavors and the halva’s sweetness.
What beans are used in Piyaz Halva?
Piyaz Halva is commonly made with white beans. Cook them until tender but still intact, so they hold their shape when tossed with onion and dressing instead of turning into a mushy salad.
Can you make Piyaz Halva with canned beans?
Yes, canned beans work for Piyaz Halva. Drain and rinse them well, then let them drain again before mixing; this removes the canning liquid, which could otherwise make the salad watery or overly salty.
What dressing goes on Piyaz Halva?
Piyaz Halva typically uses a simple olive-oil dressing with lemon juice or vinegar, alongside onion and herbs. It is distinct from a tahini-dressed piyaz because the tahini halva is served separately.
Can you prepare Piyaz Halva ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the bean salad for Piyaz Halva ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container. Keep the halva separate until serving, so it does not soften or get coated in the salad dressing.
What is Piyaz Halva served with?
Piyaz Halva can be eaten on its own or served with köfte and other grilled foods. The halva stays alongside the bean salad, making the plate a savory-and-sweet pairing rather than a salad with a sweet dressing.
How can you make a lighter Piyaz Halva at home?
For a lighter Piyaz Halva, use olive oil sparingly and build the salad around beans, onion, and fresh herbs. Serve a smaller piece of tahini halva on the side instead of mixing it into the salad.

What is Piyaz Halva?
Piyaz Halva brings together Turkish piyaz—a salad centred on cooked white beans—and tahini halva, served alongside or as part of the plate. Piyaz is commonly dressed with onion, herbs and a tangy sauce; in Antalya, a tahini-based dressing is a familiar local style. The halva adds a sweet, sesame-rich contrast to the savoury beans.
Expect tender beans, crisp onion and a creamy, gently tart dressing, balanced by the halva’s dense sweetness. In Turkey, piyaz is often served as a side or light meal, and this combination works well with bread or grilled dishes. The beans contribute fibre and plant protein, while the halva makes the plate more substantial. For a lighter serving, use less halva and add extra fresh herbs or salad greens.
