Haydari (Herb Yogurt Dip)

This is the kind of Turkish snack you’ll make on repeat — greek yogurt and feta, 15 minutes, big payoff.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Feta
• 0.25 cup Dill
• 0.25 cup Mint
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt

Steps

1. Strain the yogurt through cheesecloth or a fine sieve for 30 minutes if it is not already thick — haydari should stand up on a spoon, not slump.
2. Mash the feta into the yogurt until mostly smooth with a few pleasant lumps remaining. Those little pockets of salty feta are the best bites.
3. Fold in the finely chopped dill and mint and the grated garlic. Season with salt, remembering the feta already brings salt.
4. Drizzle with your best olive oil and scatter a few whole herb leaves over the top for color.
5. Chill at least 30 minutes so the garlic mellows into the yogurt. Serve with warm bread or as part of a meze spread.
