Strained yogurt cacik with white cabbage is a cold Turkish-style yogurt dip made with thick strained yogurt and finely cut cabbage. Garlic, salt, and herbs such as dill are common additions, and recipes may also include cucumber.
Mix finely shredded white cabbage into strained yogurt loosened with a little cold water. Add garlic, salt, and dill if you like, then chill before serving. Add the cabbage shortly before serving if you want it to stay crisp.
It can, but cucumber is optional. White cabbage may replace cucumber or be combined with it for extra crunch. If you add cucumber, expect the dip to release more water, so use less water when thinning the yogurt.
Yes, white cabbage can replace cucumber in strained yogurt cacik. Slice it very thinly so it mixes easily into the thick yogurt; it gives the dip a firmer, crunchier bite than the usual cucumber version.
No, the cabbage is usually added raw and finely sliced. Raw cabbage keeps its crunch and contrasts with the thick yogurt. For a softer texture, briefly rub the sliced cabbage with salt, then squeeze out the liquid before mixing.
The cabbage can release moisture as it sits, and cucumber adds still more liquid if included. Dry washed vegetables well, squeeze out liquid after salting, and mix the cabbage into the yogurt close to serving time to help keep the dip thick.
It tastes tangy and creamy from the strained yogurt, with a fresh, mildly sweet crunch from the cabbage. Garlic and dill add savory notes when used. It is generally served chilled, and its flavor is milder than a strongly garlicky yogurt dip.
Serve it cold alongside grilled meats, rice dishes, or beans, or offer it as a dip with flatbread. Its thick yogurt base and crisp cabbage make a refreshing contrast to warm, savory main dishes.
Keep it covered and refrigerated, and aim to eat it within one to two days for the best texture. The cabbage softens and releases liquid over time; stir it before serving and discard it if it has been left unrefrigerated for too long.
No, freezing is not a good choice. The yogurt can separate and become grainy when thawed, while the cabbage loses its crisp texture. Make a fresh batch instead, and refrigerate leftovers in a covered container.

Strained yogurt cacik with white cabbage puts a crisp, fresh twist on Turkish cacik, the cool yogurt-based accompaniment. The thick yogurt gives it a creamy, gently tangy character, while the cabbage adds crunch. It is best served chilled.
In Turkey, cacik commonly appears alongside a main meal, and this version works especially well with rice dishes, grilled foods or a spread of small plates. Its thick texture makes it more substantial than a looser, drinkable-style cacik; it provides 4.6 g of protein per 100 g. If you prefer a lighter consistency, stir in a little water before serving, and pair it with warmly spiced dishes for a refreshing contrast.
