Tzatziki

Tzatziki is a traditional Greek sauce or dip made from thick strained yoghurt, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and fresh dill or mint. The result is a refreshing, creamy, and mildly tangy condiment with a pronounced garlic flavour. In Greek and broader Mediterranean cuisine, it is served as a side dish with grilled meats, particularly gyros and souvlaki, as a dip with flatbread such as pitta, or as part of a meze spread. It can also be used as a wrap dressing or as a lighter alternative to mayonnaise in salad dressings. Thanks to its yoghurt base, tzatziki is a lighter option compared to cream-based dips.
