Details
A cool, creamy yogurt dip that's all about the garlic and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Yogurt
In a medium bowl, place the strained yogurt. If you are using feta cheese, mash it with a fork until smooth and then whisk it into the yogurt until well combined.
Combine Ingredients
Add the minced garlic, finely chopped dill, and fresh mint to the yogurt mixture. Stir everything together until the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed. Season with salt to your liking.
Chill (Recommended)
For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let the Haydari chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve
Transfer the Haydari to a serving dish. Create a small well in the center and drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra dill or mint leaves before serving. It is best enjoyed with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a side to grilled meats.
