About
Tzatziki is a classic Greek yogurt-based dip or sauce made with cucumber, garlic, and fresh herbs like dill or mint. It has a creamy, tangy flavor with a refreshing crunch from the cucumber. It is commonly served as an appetizer with pita bread or as a condiment for grilled meats and gyros.
Cultural Context
Tzatziki is a staple in Greek cuisine, often served as part of meze (appetizers) or alongside grilled meats like souvlaki. It is especially popular in summer for its cooling properties.
