What is Cucumber dill cacik?
Cucumber dill cacik is a Turkish cold yogurt dish mixed with grated or finely chopped cucumber and fresh dill. Garlic and salt are common additions, and a little water gives it a looser, spoonable consistency; made thicker, it works more like a dip. It is related to other cucumber-and-yogurt dishes around the eastern Mediterranean, but its seasoning and texture vary from home to home.
In Turkey it is served cool alongside rice dishes, stuffed vegetables or grilled foods, especially in warm weather. Elsewhere, it fits easily on a mezze table or as a refreshing side with a simple meal. Yogurt contributes protein, while cucumber and water keep the dish light. For a milder, thinner version, loosen the yogurt with water and add the dill just before serving.
