Yogurt dill meze is a chilled Turkish-style meze made by mixing yogurt with fresh dill. Recipes may also include garlic, salt, or olive oil, and the texture can range from spoonable to thick.
Stir finely chopped fresh dill into thick yogurt to make Yogurt dill meze. Add salt and garlic if you like, chill it briefly, and finish with a little olive oil before serving.
Serve Yogurt dill meze cold alongside grilled meat, vegetables, or other small plates. It also works as a dip for flatbread or pita, making it easy to include on a shared meze table.
No. Yogurt dill meze is usually a thicker yogurt-and-dill dip, while cacık commonly includes cucumber and is often loosened with water. Their ingredients vary by household, but they are not interchangeable names for one fixed recipe.
Yes, dried dill works in Yogurt dill meze, though its flavor is less fresh and bright than that of fresh dill. Add a small amount first, mix well, and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Yogurt dill meze can turn watery when the yogurt is thin or the dill or added cucumber is still wet. Use thick yogurt, dry the herbs well, and drain or squeeze cucumber before mixing it in.
Yes, you can prepare Yogurt dill meze a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. The dill flavor will infuse the yogurt as it rests; stir it before serving and check the texture.
Keep Yogurt dill meze in a sealed container in the refrigerator and aim to eat it within two days for the best quality. Do not leave it sitting out for an extended time, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Freezing Yogurt dill meze is not recommended because yogurt often separates and becomes grainy after thawing. The dill can also lose its fresh flavor, so it is better to prepare this dip fresh or refrigerate it briefly.
Yes, garlic is optional in Yogurt dill meze. Leaving it out lets the fresh dill flavor stand out and gives you a milder dip; season the yogurt with salt and a little olive oil if desired.

Yogurt dill meze is a cool, yogurt-based dip or side from Turkish meze cooking, with fresh dill as its defining herb. Depending on the household, it may also include garlic and a little olive oil. Its gentle tang and creamy texture are lifted by dill’s grassy, fresh flavour; the consistency varies with the yogurt used.
In Turkey it is served chilled alongside a meal or as part of a spread of small plates, often with bread for scooping. It also works as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled vegetables or meat. Yogurt gives it protein and calcium, while the dill keeps the flavour bright. For a lighter version, choose plain lower-fat yogurt and use olive oil sparingly.
