Cacık
Cacık ([dʒaˈdʒɯk]) is a Turkish dish of seasoned, diluted yogurt, eaten throughout the former Ottoman world. In Greece it is called tzatziki. It is served cold in very small bowls usually as a side dish or with ice cubes.
Cacık is made of yogurt, salt, olive oil, crushed garlic, chopped cucumber, dill, mint, and lime juice, diluted with water to a low consistency, and garnished with sumac. Among these ingredients, olive oil, lime juice, and sumac are optional. Dill and mint (fresh or dried) may be used alternately. Cacık, when consumed as a meze, is prepared without water but follows the same recipe. Ground paprika may also be added when it is prepared as a meze. As a rarer recipe, when prepared with lettuce or carrots instead of cucumber, it is named kış cacığı (winter cacık).
