- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried mint (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the cucumber and grate it using a box grater. Squeeze the grated cucumber gently to remove excess water and set it aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and chopped fresh mint leaves.
Step 4
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the yogurt mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or black pepper to preference.
Step 6
Transfer the Cacik to a serving bowl. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top and sprinkle with dried mint as a garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a more developed flavor. Enjoy with pita bread, vegetables, or as a side to grilled meats.
