Tzatziki - Greek yogurt dip (Tzatziki)

Tzatziki is a traditional Greek dip made from thick Greek yogurt, grated cucumbers, garlic, olive oil, and seasonings. It has a refreshing taste and creamy texture. In Greek cuisine, it is served as a side dish with grilled meats, gyros, souvlaki, and pita bread. The key to great tzatziki is thoroughly draining the cucumbers so the sauce is not watery. Similar yogurt-based sauces exist in Turkish cuisine as cacık and in Indian cuisine as raita. Tzatziki is popular throughout the Mediterranean as a healthy and light snack or appetizer.
