Nutritious, vibrant, and delicious. What's not to love about this Turkish Carrot Salad with Yogurt Dressing? It is, perhaps, one of the most popular salads frequenting a Turkish table. It is also one of the easiest salads you can ever make.
Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots, peeled
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- About 2 cups plain yogurt
- 4 gloves garlic or to taste, peeled and passed through a garlic press
- Salt
- Chopped fresh dill, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Grate the carrots on the coarse side of a box grater.
- In a medium non-stick frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender, about 10 minutes. Take care not to overcook the carrots; they should not be mushy and should be slightly undercooked. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the carrots to a large mixing bowl to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, combine the yogurt with garlic in a separate mixing bowl.
- Once the carrots have cooled completely, add the yogurt and garlic mixture and stir to mix well. Add more yogurt if you have too - the salad should not be dry.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Chill in the refrigerator before serving.
- If you wish, garnish with chopped dill.
