What is Thick Yogurt Dip with Purslane and Cucumber?
Thick Yogurt Dip with Purslane and Cucumber is a Turkish-style cacık made by mixing thick yogurt with chopped cucumber and fresh purslane. Garlic and a little olive oil are common optional additions; unlike a pourable version, it is made with little or no water and served with a spoon.
Its cool, gently tangy yogurt contrasts with crisp cucumber and purslane’s fresh, faintly tart flavor. In Turkey, it is served as a meze or alongside everyday meals, especially in warm weather, and goes well with grilled dishes, rice and vegetables. Yogurt gives it protein and calcium, while the cucumber and herbs keep the dip refreshing. For a lighter texture, loosen it with a splash of cold water; add the purslane just before serving to keep it fresh.
