Just
in time for Shavuot I tried a new yogurt based spread from Achla’s “Tastes of
the Shuk/Market” line.
Last month I told you about the Zucchini Squash & Techina Salad from this line. Since the Greek yogurt spreads is something new for Achla it really intrigued me to try them.
There are three Greek Yogurt based spreads to choose from. Like the Zucchini Squash & Techina Salad two of the spreads are layered, they are; Roasted Eggplant & Greek Yogurt, Roasted Peppers & Greek Yogurt and the third is the more well known Greek Tzatziki salad. Of the three, the one that seemed the most interesting to me was the Roasted Peppers & Greek Yogurt spread so that’s the one I chose to try.

Like the Zucchini & Techina Salad the
pepper salad in this yogurt spread was the lower layer but since Greek yogurt
is a thinner consistency to the Techina, by the time I got this spread home and
opened it the peppers were sort of mixed thought the yogurt and it didn’t have as
much of a the layered affect that the Zucchini & Techina Salad had.
When
I looked at the spread the peppers part looked similar to a Matbucha type salad so I was anticipating it to be a
little bit on the spicy side but in fact it was quite sweet. It did have some ground black pepper in the mix
but the sweet red peppers gave the main flavor.
Not only did the
red peppers give the Greek yogurt a pretty red tint, I thought the taste of the
sweet red pepper worked very well with the ever so slightly sour Greek yogurt it
was mixed with.
The roasted peppers
were nicely grilled but they still had a minor crunch to them, I thought that added
a nice texture to the spread.
Bottom Line: Since I
had never tasted a spread like this Achla Roasted Peppers & Greek Yogurt
spread I had no idea what to expect from it, all in all I was pleasantly surprised how well the sweet
pepper salad and sour Greek yogurt flavors worked together. I enjoyed this
spread on crackers and toasted bread. I think it would make a nice addition to
any Shavuot dairy meal. Granted a homemade version would be even more enjoyable
but of the many Achla salads and spreads I have tasted over the years this one seemed
a bit less mass produced than most of their products taste to me.
The coupon I told you about on the Zucchini Squash
& Techina Salad post should be good for the yogurt based spreads too because
they are also part of the “Tastes of the Shuk/Market” line so here is the
coupon again.
