Cacik is a Turkish side dish recipe that takes about 44 min from start to finish and serves 4. It calls for 6 ingredients across 4 steps, and is rated easy. A serving works out at around 125 kcal with roughly 8 g of protein. Filed under vegetarian, gluten-free, low-carb and hot summer days.
Halve the cucumber lengthways and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds from top to bottom. Then, halve the cucumbers widthways to make them easier to handle for grating.
Coarsely grate each cucumber half directly into the bowl where the yogurt was straining. Using clean hands or a clean muslin cloth, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated cucumber. This step is key to preventing a watery cacik.
