      Delicious! I use fresh mint and grate the cucumbers. Reviewed for PAC Spring 2010.

      I made a third of this which worked fine. I added in about 1/4 cup water to make it a bit soupier however I did want to use it as a sauce that didn't go absolutely everywhere so stopped at that. It's delicious and I'll make it again before my tub of yoghurt is finished!

      As indicated I added water to make this more soupy. Also drizzled more olive oil on top before serving along with some paprika. Great taste and thank you for posting.

      I am Turkish and the consistency in the pictures posted is wrong. The recipe posted left the consistency open to interpretation. Cacik is more soupy liquid, rather than creamy as pictured. But I guess if you like creamy better, then that's fine. I am just saying that in Turkey cacik is made thinner/more liquid than the user pics posted.

      Delicious dish that I made to go with Kofte. My whole family enjoyed this, and my husband even used the leftovers to top his rice the next night. I did use fres mint, but cut the amount in half. Terrific!

      What can I say this was a fantastic recipe to go with the meatballs I made. People are still commenting on this being served. I have been asked for the recipe twice now! I will be making this again!

      The yoghurt-cucumber combination is just divine.

      I made this to serve with Chef Flower's Turkish Cypriot Fried Meatballs - Kibrisli Kofte /. It was absolutely wonderful. A recipe I'll use again and again.

      YUM! I made this to go with Chef Flower's Turkish Cypriot Fried Meatballs - Kibrisli Kofte /. It really complimented the dish wonderfully. I didn't feel the need to add any of the water and omitted the oil.I also enjoy it served as a dip with grilled greek flat bread. Thanks so much for sharing. This is something that is really loved in our house and will be made often!

      I have found that some fresh dill or mint gives this an extra something. Plus my Turkish boyfriend suggested it to be completely true to form.

      My parents are Cypriot Turks and its a dish they were taught when they were children. I often make it when we have a BBQ's as a sauce for the lamb or chicken. My husband & daughter love the refreshing flavours. I drizzle olive oil and place a small fresh mint on the top for garnish.

      We had a salad supper at church and I made this for one of my dishes. We absolutely loved it. It was well received and everyone commented on how refreshing and soothing it was. DH ate the leftovers and I have added to our regular lineup. It is soooo much better than the mayo based cucumber salads normally made. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to having with some Tandoori.

      Hi - just a comment... this seemed awfully familiar to me and I felt I knew this by another name although it took me a few moments to recall (and get the spelling right!) - but this is also known as Tzatziki - a traditional Greek recipe as well as Turkish. None too surprising given the interactions and a few battles between the Greeks and Turks over the centuries. Also worth a recipe search on 'Tzatziki' as they are so incredibly similar.

      This has long been one of my favorites (I'm Turkish too) and your recipe is a very good one! The longer it sits in the fridge, the better it tastes. Sometimes I also like to add a little bit of lemon juice (about a tablespoon), or some fresh dill, as well.

      I made this today to offset some very spicy food, and it functioned well. I think mine was probably a little more "chewy" because I used Japanese cucumbers, and didn't peel or seed them. It's still very good. Next time I think I will try it with fresh mint. Thank you very much for posting this recipe.

      Yum - one of my favorites. But I prefer thyme in mine! Incidentally, the more garlic, the better...

      I prefer it with fresh mint and coriander, finely chopped.

      Very nice refreshing dish and a good way of serving cucumber. The chilling in the fridge is important and the time allows the flavours to develop.
