Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 oz/500 g yogurt (plain)
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup cold water
2 to 3 cucumbers (peeled and finely diced)
Optional: 1 to 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped, or 1 to 2 tsp. garlic powder)
1 tsp. salt (more or less to taste)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano (dried)
Optional: 1/4 tsp. hot red pepper flakes (or sweet paprika)
Garnish: 1/4 cup dill weed (fresh, finely chopped or 1 tsp. dried dill weed)
Garnish: 1/4 cup mint leaves (fresh, finely chopped or 1/2 tsp. dried mint)

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.

KITTENCAL'S TZATZIKI (GREEK CUCUMBER AND YOGURT SALAD)



Kittencal's Tzatziki (Greek Cucumber and Yogurt Salad) image

This is worth making it is so delicious! Greek yogurt is richer and thicker then regular yogurt and is the best used for this recipe, if you cannot find Greek yogurt just use 4 cups regular full-fat plain yogurt and drain it in the fridge through a triple thickness of cheesecloth for 8 hours or overnight, if you are using Greek yogurt you will not have to strain it, once you try Greek yogurt you will never go back to regular yogurt again! Plan ahead this needs to chill for a minimum of 2 hours, you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the bowl LOL! Make certain to drain the cucumber very well for this. Serve this anyway or with anything you want to, it is great on pita. Prep time is only if you are using the Greek yogurt if you are straining the yogurt prep time will be more.

Time 2h

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups Greek yogurt (yiaourti sakoulas)
2 lbs cucumbers (about 3 medium, peeled and chopped finely)

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped of fresh mint
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Put the finely chopped cucumbers in a sieve and press out as much excess liquid as possible.
  • In a large bowl mix the minced garlic with the salt into a paste.
  • Add in the Greek yogurt (or strained yogurt) with garlic/salt paste, add to the drained cucumbers, mint, olive oil, more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover and chill for a minimum of 2 hours before serving (you won't be able to keep you spoon out of the bowl lol!).

  • Cut the cucumber to very tiny cubes. Do not grate or use a processor if possible; if you do the cucumbers become messy and watery.
  • Add the cucumber to the yogurt. Mix. Add cold drinking water until you have a thick texture. Do not forget this is supposed to be eaten with a spoon, like a soup. Some like it really watery, some with some thickness. Make it according to your taste.
