Cherry summer tzatziki is a chilled yogurt dip made with cucumber and sour cherries, usually seasoned with herbs and sometimes garlic. The cherries give the familiar tangy, creamy cucumber mixture a fruity tartness and a pinkish hue.
Mix thick yogurt with grated or finely diced cucumber, pitted sour cherries, and herbs such as mint or dill. Add garlic if you like, then thin the mixture gradually with cold water; chilling it briefly helps the flavors come together.
Sour cherries are the better fit for cherry summer tzatziki because their tart flavor balances the creamy yogurt. Sweet cherries make the dip noticeably sweeter and less tangy. If using frozen sour cherries, thaw and drain them before mixing them in.
Use thick yogurt and squeeze excess liquid from grated cucumber before adding it to cherry summer tzatziki. Drain chopped cherries as well, and add any water only a little at a time; salt the dip close to serving so it releases less liquid.
No, peeling the cucumber is not necessary for cherry summer tzatziki. Leave the skin on for color and texture if the cucumber is tender and well washed; peel it if the skin is tough or you prefer a smoother dip.
Yes, pitted frozen sour cherries work in cherry summer tzatziki. Thaw them first and drain the liquid so it does not thin or discolor the yogurt too much. Fold them in gently to keep the pieces intact.
Serve cherry summer tzatziki chilled alongside grilled vegetables, kebabs, or roast meats, or offer it with flatbread as part of a summer spread. Its creamy, tart flavor pairs especially well with smoky and savory dishes.
Yes, cherry summer tzatziki can be made a few hours ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator. For the freshest texture, stir it before serving and add delicate herbs at the end; cucumber may release liquid as it sits.
No, cherry summer tzatziki usually does not need added sugar. Sour cherries are meant to bring a bright tart note that contrasts with the yogurt; if the fruit is unusually sharp, adjust the flavor with a little more yogurt rather than making the dip sweet.
Keep leftover cherry summer tzatziki covered in the refrigerator and eat it within about a day for the best texture. The cucumber can release water and the herbs can lose freshness, so stir it before serving and discard it if it has been left out for hours.

Cherry summer tzatziki is a Turkish-style summer take on cacık, made with yogurt, cucumber and sour cherries. The cherries bring a tart, fruity note to the cool, creamy base, giving this dip a different edge from the more familiar cucumber-and-yogurt version.
Serve it chilled as a meze or alongside a summer meal; it goes especially well with grilled vegetables and meats. It is refreshing rather than especially filling, with 3.9 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter, looser dip, stir a little water into the yogurt, and add the cherries to suit your preferred balance of sweet and sour.
