1 cup (medium) of Yogurt with pepper (150 g) has 98 calories. That works out to 65 calories per 100 g. It contains 7.8 g of carbs, 5.6 g of protein, 3.9 g of fat and 1 g of fiber. Its 0.7 µg of B12 covers 28% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Yogurt with pepper is a simple Turkish-style dish made by stirring fresh, roasted or sweet peppers into plain yogurt. Some home versions add garlic or herbs, and the amount of heat depends on the pepper. The yogurt stays cool, thick and gently tangy, while the pepper brings sweetness or a mild kick.
In Turkey it is often served as a meze or a cooling side for grilled meats, vegetables and other shared dishes; bread is handy for scooping it up. Elsewhere, it works just as well alongside a simple lunch or barbecue. Its nutritional character comes mainly from the yogurt, making it a modest source of protein and a satisfying accompaniment rather than a substantial meal. For a lighter texture, use plain rather than strained yogurt, and roast the peppers to deepen their flavor without adding much oil.

Yogurt with pepper is a savory yogurt dish mixed with fresh or cooked peppers. It can be served as a cool side or dip, and its flavor ranges from mild and sweet to hot depending on the peppers used.
Mix finely chopped fresh pepper or drained, chopped roasted pepper into plain yogurt. Use thick yogurt for a dip-like consistency, then chill it before serving. You can season it to taste, but let the pepper remain the main flavor.
Yes, roasted peppers work well in yogurt with pepper. Peel and seed them, chop them, and drain off excess liquid before mixing; this gives the yogurt a smoky flavor without making it watery.
Sweet bell peppers make a mild, slightly sweet yogurt with pepper, while long green peppers give it a sharper flavor. Add chili or another hot pepper if you want heat, starting with a small amount and tasting as you go.
Serve yogurt with pepper alongside grilled meat, kebabs, roasted vegetables, or rice. It also works as a dip for flatbread and raw vegetables, where its cool, tangy texture balances richer or spicier foods.
Yogurt with pepper can be either a dip or a side dish. Keep it thick and serve it in a small bowl for dipping bread or vegetables; serve a spoonful beside a main dish as a cool accompaniment.
Yogurt with pepper turns watery when fresh peppers release liquid or the yogurt is already thin. Drain chopped or roasted peppers before mixing, and choose thick plain yogurt if you want the mixture to hold its shape.
Yes, Greek yogurt works well for yogurt with pepper because its thick texture makes a sturdy dip. Its tangier taste pairs especially well with roasted peppers; if the mixture seems too dense, loosen it with a little plain yogurt.
Store yogurt with pepper in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within 2–3 days. Use a clean spoon each time, and stir before serving because the peppers may release liquid as the mixture sits.
Yogurt with pepper can be a nourishing side, combining yogurt with vegetables in a savory dish. Its overall nutritional profile changes with the yogurt and pepper proportions, so it is best considered alongside the rest of your meal rather than as a health remedy.
