CACIK (TURKISH TZATZIKI)
Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the garlic, yoghurt and mint. Gently add the cucumbers and season well with salt.
- If serving as a dip, add to your serving bowl and top with extra virgin olive oil and some fresh mint. Serve immediately, or as soon as possible.

TURKISH YOGURT WITH CUCUMBERS AND HERBS (CACıK)
Steps:
- First, whisk the yogurt and olive oil together to make a smooth mixture. Gradually whisk in the water until you get the consistency you want. Some prefer their 'cacık' watery while some like it thick. It's completely up to you.
- Next add the cucumbers, garlic, and spices and mix thoroughly until smooth. Adjust the spices to your taste.
- It is best to refrigerate your 'cacık' for a few hours before serving. Serve your ice-cold 'cacık' in small, decorative bowls. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil in the center of each one. Garnish each with a small sprig of fresh mint or dill weed.

CACIK (TZATZIKI "COUSIN")
Entered for safe-keeping. From Clean Eating, May/June 2009. Turkish cacik lacks lemon juice and uses less garlic than its cousin, tzatziki sauce. If yogurt is not drained, the mixture will be creamier. Substitute mint for all or part of the fresh dill, as you please.

CACIK
I love this stuff. When I was in Turkey, I remember eating it with kebabs but I also saw people just eating it with a spoon. I saw a couple of other recipes like this but the technique is a little different hence the post. I found recipe in "Mediterranean Street Food" by Anissa Helou but have adjusted it to how I remember eating it. The cook time is the time you let the grated cucumber set.

Steps:
- Finely grate cucumber. Put grated cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with a little salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes, this will help get the excess water out of the cucumber.
- With your hands, squeeze the excess water out of the cucumber.
- Put into a bowl and mix in yogurt and dill or mint. Enjoy!
- While in Turkey, I don't really remember it having dill or mint but have found I like it with either one. Also, I add two cloves of garlic and I am well into garlicky flavor.
