What is Purple yogurt meze?
Purple yogurt meze is a chilled dip made by mixing yogurt with beetroot, usually grated or mashed. Garlic and olive oil are common additions, while herbs or walnuts may appear in home-style versions. Its vivid colour makes it an eye-catching part of a Turkish meze spread.
The flavour balances yogurt’s tang with beetroot’s gentle sweetness and earthy notes, and the texture is creamy with a little bite if the beetroot is grated. Serve it with bread or alongside other small plates; it also works as a cooling side with grilled vegetables. It provides some protein from the yogurt and fibre from the beetroot. For a lighter version, use plain yogurt and keep the oil modest.
