TURKISH CUCUMBER YOGURT DIP || Cacik Recipe || Refreshing Cacik (Turkish Equivalent of Tzatziki)

In this video, we show you how to make a Turkish Cucumber Yogurt Dip known as Cacik. This Cacik recipe is simple to make but really delicious and refreshing. It is often the first thing you get served with bread when you visit any Turkish restaurant. This refreshing Cacik is the Turkish equivalent of a Greek Tzatziki. You can serve this cucumber yogurt dip as a starter alongside bread or pita, with salads, or as an accompaniment to grilled or bbq dishes.

To make this Turkish Cucumber yogurt dip, you will need:
1 medium-sized cucumber
salt to taste
1 crushed garlic clove
juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 and 1/2 cup thick yogurt
2 tbs fresh mint
2 tbs fresh dill
olive oil to garnish
optional: sumac and cucumber slices

Cacik is very similar to Greek-style tzatziki and also to cucumber raita which is popular in the Indian subcontinent (usually served with rice dishes). We served this yogurt dip with our homemade olive and onion bread recipe which you can find here:    • OLIVE AND CARAMELIZED ONION BREAD REC...
