Taramasalata is a creamy Greek dip traditionally made from cured fish roe, often cod or carp, blended with olive oil, lemon juice, and bread or potatoes to create a smooth, flavorful spread. Its distinct pink or beige hue comes from the fish roe, though some variations incorporate additional coloring. Taramasalata is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, usually served with fresh bread, vegetables, or crackers. Nutritionally, it is a source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, it can be high in sodium due to the cured fish and added salt, and its fat content varies depending on the amount of olive oil used. Moderation is key when enjoying this rich and savory dish, which is celebrated for its robust flavors and cultural significance in traditional Greek meals.
