Turkish Cacik

Cultural Context

Cacik is a traditional Turkish dish, often served as a refreshing side or dip, especially during hot summer months. It embodies the Turkish love for yogurt and fresh herbs, showcasing the country's agricultural bounty. Cacik is similar to Greek tzatziki but is typically thinner and more yogurt-forward. Today, it has gained popularity beyond Turkey, often featured in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
