Cucumber yogurt, commonly known as "tzatziki" in Greek cuisine and "raita" in Indian cuisine, is a refreshing dish made primarily from yogurt, diced or shredded cucumbers, and a blend of herbs such as dill, mint, or parsley. Originating from the Mediterranean and South Asia, it is often seasoned with garlic, lemon juice, salt, and sometimes olive oil or spices. This low-calorie side dish is rich in probiotics from the yogurt, supporting gut health and digestion. Cucumbers contribute hydration and essential vitamins like Vitamin K and antioxidants. While generally healthy, variations with added oils or high-fat yogurt can increase calorie content. Cucumber yogurt is versatile—it can be a dip, a salad, or a complement to spicy dishes, offering a cooling balance while enhancing flavor naturally.
