Taramasalata

Taramasalata

Step aside hummus, there’s a new dip on our party tray. Creamy Taramasalata is a briny yet balanced accompaniment to pita chips or crisp veggies. Insider tip: The tarama, or carp roe, traditionally used to top the Greek dip isn’t always easy to find. We’ve substituted more readily available but equally delicious red caviar (salmon roe).
