TZATZIKI
Called Cacik in Turkey, Tarator in the Balkans, Tzatziki in Greece, each version of this salad is a variation on a theme: yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, fresh herbs. The yogurt is thick, and pungent with mashed garlic, the cucumbers either finely chopped or grated, then salted and allowed to wilt. Walnuts enrich the Balkan version, which is also considered a soup, as is Cacik. India has its version too, raita, the cooling mixture that accompanies hot curries. Whatever the cuisine, it's one of my favorite combinations, one I never forgo if I see it on a menu.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH YOGURT
This is my kids' favorite cucumber salad. Sometimes I add even more yogurt. They literally are slurping up the dressing. If I make it for adults, I add fresh dill but my kids sadly don't like anything green in their salads.
