Müslü

Müslü is a culinary term that refers to a type of salad or appetizer originating from Turkish cuisine. It typically features a base of finely chopped or mashed ingredients, often served chilled. While there isn't one single definitive recipe for Müslü, common components include yogurt, garlic, and various herbs like dill or mint.

Variations of Müslü can incorporate cooked vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, or bell peppers, which are then mashed or finely diced and mixed with the yogurt base. Nuts, particularly walnuts, are sometimes added for texture and flavor. The preparation usually involves steaming or roasting the vegetables before combining them.

Müslü is known for its refreshing and tangy taste, making it a popular meze, which is a selection of small dishes served as appetizers in Turkish and Middle Eastern dining. It is often served with bread for dipping. The dish's versatility allows for numerous interpretations, reflecting regional preferences and available ingredients. Its simple yet flavorful profile has contributed to its enduring popularity in Turkish culinary traditions.
