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.
