Cacik

This cooling Turkish classic is a creamy blend of thick yoghurt, crisp cucumber, and fragrant dill, finished with a hint of garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Light, refreshing, and perfect as a dip, sauce, or side dish, it’s often compared to its Greek cousin, Tzatziki, but carries its own distinct lemony, herby charm.

Notes

Pro Tip✨: For an extra refreshing flavour, let the cucumber sit with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes before squeezing out excess liquid—this enhances its crispness and ensures the dip stays thick and creamy!
