Yogurt Salad

Yogurt may be yet another remnant of the Central Asian nomadic tradition. Certainly it is an essential part of the Silk Road table, as well as the cuisines of Persia and Turkey. Often, as here, it is drained, then whisked with water and seasoned with salt or flavored with fresh herbs. This yogurt salad is colorful with chopped scallions, radishes, cucumbers, and fresh herbs. It’s great with pulao or kebabs.
