Taramosalata is a traditional Greek dip or spread made primarily from tarama, which is salted and cured fish roe (commonly cod, carp, or mullet roe). It is blended with ingredients such as:

Olive oil
Lemon juice
Garlic (optional)
Onion (finely grated or pureed)
Bread crumbs or mashed potatoes

This creates a smooth, creamy texture. The dip is often served as part of a mezze platter (appetizers) alongside pita bread or vegetables.

Flavor Profile

Taramosalata has a rich, savory, and slightly tangy flavor due to the combination of fish roe and lemon juice, balanced by the smooth texture of bread or potatoes.
