Yes, gazpacho is great, but after slurping the stuff all summer, I needed a break from the cold tomato concoction. Enter cacık (pronounced JAH-jek), another hot-weather favorite. The Turkish cold soup is basically a tzatzki thinned out to a soup-like consistency. Just when you thought tzatzki couldn't get any better.
