Cucumber sauce, often associated with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, is a refreshing condiment made primarily from yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs like dill or mint. Known for its creamy texture and cooling flavor, it complements dishes such as grilled meats, gyros, falafel, or fresh vegetables. This sauce is rich in probiotics from yogurt, which support gut health, and provides hydration and vitamins from cucumber. Olive oil adds healthy fats, while the herbs offer antioxidants. However, its calorie content can increase if prepared with full-fat yogurt or excessive oil, so moderation is key. Cucumber sauce is a wholesome addition to meals, striking a balance between flavor and nutrition.
