Cook the noodles until just tender, drain them well, and let them cool completely. Stir together yogurt and mayonnaise, then fold in the noodles and additions such as corn, diced pickles, or fresh dill. Chill before serving for the best texture.
Yogurt and mayonnaise make the creamy dressing, while cooked noodles form the base. Common additions include sweetcorn, chopped pickles, dill, and grated carrot; the exact mix varies by recipe. Cool and drain the noodles before combining everything.
Yogurt mayonnaise noodle salad is commonly made with orzo, the small rice-shaped pasta often called arpa şehriye in Turkish recipes. Vermicelli also works, but its finer strands soften quickly, so cook it briefly and fold it into the dressing gently.
Cool and drain the noodles thoroughly before mixing them with the dressing, and pat wet pickles dry. Warm noodles can loosen the yogurt, while watery add-ins release liquid as the salad sits. Stir again just before serving.
Yes, you can make yogurt mayonnaise noodle salad a day ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container. The noodles absorb some dressing as they chill, so check the consistency before serving and stir in a little yogurt if needed.
Yogurt mayonnaise noodle salad keeps for about 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Because its dressing contains yogurt and mayonnaise, return leftovers to the fridge promptly and avoid leaving the salad out for an extended time.
Chopped pickles, fresh dill, grated carrot, or finely sliced spring onion are good additions to yogurt mayonnaise noodle salad. Add them in modest amounts so their moisture does not thin the dressing or overpower the mild noodle-and-yogurt flavor.
Serve yogurt mayonnaise noodle salad alongside grilled chicken, meatballs, or roasted vegetables, or include it on a potluck table with other cold dishes. Its creamy dressing makes it a substantial side, so pair it with a lighter main if desired.
Yes, replace the mayonnaise with additional thick yogurt for a tangier, less rich yogurt mayonnaise noodle salad. The result will be less silky and may taste sharper, so season the dressing after mixing rather than adding extra salt automatically.
Yogurt mayonnaise noodle salad is served cold. Let the cooked noodles cool fully before adding the yogurt dressing; mixing them while hot can make the dressing thin and less creamy. Refrigerate the finished salad until it is time to serve.

Yogurt mayonnaise noodle salad is a Turkish-style side dish made by tossing small pasta noodles—often orzo-like şehriye—with a dressing of yogurt and mayonnaise. Recipes may include herbs or vegetables, but the creamy dressing and tender noodles are its defining features.
It is commonly served chilled at family gatherings and shared meals in Turkey, alongside grilled foods or other salads; it also works well as a make-ahead dish for a picnic or potluck. The noodles provide most of the carbohydrates, while the dressing makes it creamy and adds fat. For a lighter version, use more yogurt and less mayonnaise, and serve a modest portion with fresh vegetables or a lean main dish.
