ABOUT THE RECIPE

If you’re craving something light, refreshing, and bursting with flavor, you’re going to adore this Cacik-inspired dip-salad situation. It’s a delightful mix of creamy yogurt, fresh cucumbers, and aromatic herbs like mint and dill. Perfect for hot summer days or when you need a quick, healthy snack, this dip-salad is a breeze to whip up and incredibly satisfying. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll be hooked on its cool and tangy goodness!

How to serve
Enjoy it as a refreshing side dish with your grilled meats or fish, or as a cool appetizer to start your meal. It’s also perfect as a dip with some warm pita bread or crispy veggies. For a more substantial meal, pair it with a quinoa or grain bowl. This salad’s creamy, tangy flavor profile complements a wide range of dishes, making it a fantastic addition to any menu. I like to serve it with this Turkish Flatbread (Bazlama) and Spicy Turkish Vegetable Spread (Ezme) as a Meze variation.

How to store
Transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to three days, but it’s best enjoyed within the first day or two to maintain its crisp texture. Keep it chilled, and you’ll have a delicious, refreshing dip-salad ready whenever you need it.

COOKING

1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to a mash. Mix in the coconut oil, agave syrup, egg and vanilla.

2. Now add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the bowl and mix everything together until a creamy dough forms – do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries but set aside about 1 tablespoon of them for later.

3. Fill the cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Now bake for 16 minutes. I bake them in two batches of 6 so that the cupcakes have more room to rise.

4. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Place the cream cheese, yoghurt, agave syrup, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form and a firm cream has formed,

5. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.

6. As soon as the cupcakes are at room temperature, the frosting can be spread on top. Warm the remaining blueberries in a small pot or in the microwave until they turn into a sauce. Let it cool and pour the sauce over the cupcakes just before serving.
