Greek dips, rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, are flavorful spreads made from wholesome ingredients. Popular varieties include tzatziki, made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill, and hummus, crafted from chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Melitzanosalata uses roasted eggplant, olive oil, and lemon, while taramasalata is a creamy fish roe spread. These dips are celebrated for their fresh, natural ingredients and vibrant taste. Rich in healthy fats from olive oil and tahini, plant-based proteins from legumes like chickpeas, and probiotics in yogurt, they can support digestive and heart health. However, some, like taramasalata, may be higher in sodium, so portion control is essential. Greek dips pair well with vegetables, whole-grain pita, or as a flavorful addition to meals, offering a nutritious way to enjoy the rich culinary traditions of Greece.
