Categories     Sauce     Condiment

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 oz/500 g yogurt (plain)
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup cold water
2 to 3 cucumbers (peeled and finely diced)
Optional: 1 to 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped, or 1 to 2 tsp. garlic powder)
1 tsp. salt (more or less to taste)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano (dried)
Optional: 1/4 tsp. hot red pepper flakes (or sweet paprika)
Garnish: 1/4 cup dill weed (fresh, finely chopped or 1 tsp. dried dill weed)
Garnish: 1/4 cup mint leaves (fresh, finely chopped or 1/2 tsp. dried mint)

Steps:

  • First, whisk the yogurt and olive oil together to make a smooth mixture. Gradually whisk in the water until you get the consistency you want. Some prefer their 'cacık' watery while some like it thick. It's completely up to you.
  • Next add the cucumbers, garlic, and spices and mix thoroughly until smooth. Adjust the spices to your taste.
  • It is best to refrigerate your 'cacık' for a few hours before serving. Serve your ice-cold 'cacık' in small, decorative bowls. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil in the center of each one. Garnish each with a small sprig of fresh mint or dill weed.

GRANDMA VARGA'S HUNGARIAN CUCUMBER SALAD (UBORKASALATA)



Grandma Varga's Hungarian Cucumber Salad (Uborkasalata) image

This is the best cucumber salad I have ever had. This is my grandmothers recipe, (she was from Nagyszentmiklos) and this is a perfect companion dish for chicken paprikas, although I could make a meal out of it. This will quickly become your favorite way to eat cucumbers!

Provided by Anthony Gougoutris

Categories     Hungarian

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium cucumbers or 15 kirby cucumbers, peeled
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/2 pint sour cream
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika

Steps:

  • Slice cucumbers very thinly, preferably using a mandolin.
  • Take a colander, put in a small layer of cucumbers, then sprinkle with a small amount of the salt.
  • Continue this method until all the salt and cucumbers are used up.
  • Cover the cucumbers with a plate inside the colander, and put a very heavy weight on top.
  • Make sure the colander is in a large bowl, because the cucumbers will lose alot of water.
  • Let them sit for 1 hour.
  • In the meantime, chop the dill and finely mince the garlic, put aside.
  • After 1 hour, take a handful of cucumbers, and squeeze out as much juice as you can, and continue until they are all done.
  • Rinse thoroughly with water, drain well.
  • After the cucumbers are done, return to the colander, and weight down one more time for about 15 minutes.
  • You do not have to squeeze out the juice again with your hands Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except the paprika.
  • After mixing thoroughly, put in a nice serving dish, and sprinkle with the paprika.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Enjoy.
  • Nutritional information shows a high amount of sodium, but the vast majority is pressed out by your hands. The main function of the kosher salt is to purge the moisture out of the cucumbers.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOY, GINGER AND GARLIC
