How to Make Easy Low Fat Cacik Garlic Yogurt Dip

  1. Peel the cucumber and, using a spoon, remove the seeds and soft flesh from the center. Grate the cucumber using a box grater.
  2. In a small bowl, mash the minced garlic with the sea salt using the back of a spoon or a fork until a paste forms.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber and Greek yogurt. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add the garlic-salt paste to the yogurt mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Can be made up to 24 hours in advance.)
  6. Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite pita bread, grilled meats, or vegetables.
