Ingredients
- 6 heaped dessert spoonfuls natural yoghurt
- 1 cucumber (peeled, centre removed & very finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (peeled & grated)
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 2 dessert spoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried mint (plus a bit extra to garnish)
- 2 dessert spoons water (approx.)
- salt (to season)
Instructions
- Add your yoghurt to a large bowl.
- Add a tiny splash of water to your yoghurt and stir vigorously until it is mixed.
- Keep adding the water a little at a time and stirring until your yoghurt is the thickness you want.
- Now add half the olive oil and stir again until it is mixed and the yoghurt is smooth.
- Add your lemon juice and mix thoroughly.
- Now stir in your garlic and mint.
- Add your cucumber to the yoghurt dip and stir.
- Do a taste test and add a pinch of salt. You can also add more mint or lemon at this stage to suit your taste.
- Before serving, if you like, you can add a bit more dried mint to the surface of your cacık along with a drizzle more olive oil
Notes
- As with all of our recipes, the calorie count for our Turkish cacık recipe is approximate. Yours will differ depending on yoghurt brands and how much cacık you make.
- If you can't get Turkish yoghurt where you live, Greek yoghurt is fine.
- You can add as much or as little water as you like to make your cacık become a creamy yoghurt & cucumber dip or a refreshing cold 'soup.'
