Total time: 1 h 15 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Turkish
Ingredients: 2 large cucumbers, peeled and grated; 2 cups plain yogurt; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped; 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1 cup cold water; Ice cubes (for serving); Optional garnish: a drizzle of olive oil, chopped fresh herbs

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cucumbers, yogurt, minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh mint, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Slowly stir in the cold water to reach your desired consistency. Some prefer a thicker soup, while others enjoy a more thin and refreshing version. Adjust the amount of water accordingly.
Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and to ensure it is nicely chilled.
When ready to serve, place a few ice cubes in individual serving bowls to keep the soup cool. Ladle the Cacik into the bowls and drizzle each serving with a bit of olive oil for an extra touch of richness.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or mint, for a burst of color and freshness. Feel free to get creative with the garnishes to make each bowl visually appealing.
Serve the Cucumber and Yogurt Soup with a side of crusty bread or pita for a complete and satisfying meal.
