CACIK
I love this stuff. When I was in Turkey, I remember eating it with kebabs but I also saw people just eating it with a spoon. I saw a couple of other recipes like this but the technique is a little different hence the post. I found recipe in "Mediterranean Street Food" by Anissa Helou but have adjusted it to how I remember eating it. The cook time is the time you let the grated cucumber set.

Steps:
- Finely grate cucumber. Put grated cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with a little salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes, this will help get the excess water out of the cucumber.
- With your hands, squeeze the excess water out of the cucumber.
- Put into a bowl and mix in yogurt and dill or mint. Enjoy!
- While in Turkey, I don't really remember it having dill or mint but have found I like it with either one. Also, I add two cloves of garlic and I am well into garlicky flavor.
