Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the yogurt and water till creamy and smooth.
- Chop the cucumbers into small pieces and mince the garlic, then add to the yogurt. Add salt and mix well.
- Stir in the chopped mint and drizzle with olive oil. Cover and chill till required.
Notes
- This dish is best made on the day. Prepare it a few hours in advance and keep chilled till ready to serve.
- We prefer to use small baby cucumbers (also known as Persian cucumbers), for this as they have a nicer flavour are slightly sweet and are less watery than regular cucumbers. However, if they are not available half a regular English cucumber work well too, in which case you may not need to add the tablespoon of water in the recipe.
- Chop the cucumbers into small pieces, only grate them to make cacik soup as grating releases more water.
- Storing leftovers - store in a sealed container and chill for up to 48 hours. During this time the cucumbers will release some water so stir well before serving.
- This recipe makes cacik soup for two people.
- After preparing the cacik, mix with around 120 ml (½ cup) cold water to achieve the desired consistency. Serve chilled.
