Turkish cacik pronounced like “Jajik”. It is a very refreshing dish especially during the summer months. Cacik is served as an accompanying dish to a main course or any kind of kebab. It is more liquid than "tzatziki". Tzatziki is a kind of yogurt dip/sauce in Greece.
Ingredients
1 large cucumber
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1,5 cups yogurt
3 tablespoons cold water
1,5 tablespoons minced fresh mint or 1 dessert spoon dried mint
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1,5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Pour the yogurt into a medium-sized bowl, add crushed garlic and whisk together.
Season to taste with salt.
Coarsely grate the cucumber into the bowl.
Dilute with cold water.
Add minced mint and dill, stir to combine.
To prepare dressing, combine the olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl and whisk together until well blended. Pour the dressing over the cacik and mix well. Just before serving, pour into very small bowls.
Have a good appetite!
