Ingredients

• 2 pieces white bread slices (crusts removed)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 piece potato (medium, boiled and peeled)
• 3 tablespoons tarama (cod roe)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
• 2 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 piece garlic clove (small, minced)
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the bread slices in 2 tablespoons of water until soft, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Squeeze out excess water from the bread and place it into a food processor.

Step 3

Add the boiled potato, tarama, lemon juice, olive oil, low-fat yogurt, minced garlic, and black pepper to the food processor with the bread.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl to ensure even mixing.

Step 5

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning or lemon if needed to fit your preference.

Step 6

Transfer the taramosalata to a bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, stir the taramosalata once, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve chilled with fresh vegetable crudités, whole-grain pita bread, or as a spread for sandwiches.
