Taramasalata or taramosalata (gr: ταραμοσαλάτα, from taramas, from tr.tarama 'fish roe'[1] + salata "salad"[2]) is a Greek and Turkish meze made from tarama, the salted and cured roe of the cod, carp, or grey mullet mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, and a starchy base of bread or potatoes, or sometimes almonds. Variants may include garlic, spring onions, or peppers, or vinegar instead of lemon juice.[3][4]

Taramosalata is usually eaten as a meze, a dip for bread or raw vegetables. The color can vary from creamy beige to pink, depending on the type of roe used. Most tarama in commerce is dyed pink.[3]
