Turkish Tahini Yogurt Salad

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Finely chop the lettuce and parsley and transfer them to a large bowl.
2. Add a pinch of the salt and gently squeeze the lettuce and parsley with your hands to soften them slightly.
3. Drain away any excess liquid released by the greens. Removing this moisture helps prevent the finished yogurt salad from becoming watery.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and remaining salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Add the drained lettuce and parsley to the tahini yogurt mixture. Stir until the greens are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
6. Melt the butter in a small pan. Add the walnuts and red pepper flakes and cook briefly until fragrant, taking care not to burn the butter or spices.
7. Spread the tahini yogurt salad onto a serving plate and pour the warm walnut chili butter over the top. Serve immediately.
