Also known as Tarator or Cacik, is a Dip or Sauce mostly found in the cuisines of Southeast Europe and the Middle East. It's basically a salted strained Yogurt, shredded Cucumbers, Dill, Garlic and Olive Oil along with Lemon juice and sometimes other Herbs like Thyme and Parsley. An amazing Dip that's absolutely delicious and healthy. It's a mild and creamy Sauce bursting with subtle flavours that adds on from the ingredients used in making it.

A very refreshing one that can be whipped up and enjoyed if you have some homemade strained Yogurt or a store bought Greek Yogurt with you. It's absolutely easy to make and is a perfect Dip to many a mouthwatering Snacks like, Crackers, Pita, Chips and Nachos, Kebabs, fresh Vegetable sticks etc.
A perfect choice for enjoying something so very flavourful and healthy on just about any day or during the weekends for a worthwhile Brunch or even a Barbeque party or Close knit family gatherings as well or for that few cherished moments with a bunch of special friends in your life..
The excuses are many. For my family, it's an anytime easy peasy dish that i can whip up literally. That's the beauty of it. You cannot stay away from it if you had tasted it once. Relish it all on it's own too if you like it that way. You will love that spoonfuls of it in your mouth even without any accompaniments as well. Simple yet filling and pure homemade comfort dish for me and my folks.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
