Souvlaki is a popular Greek dish consisting of skewered and grilled meat, often chicken, pork, or lamb, seasoned with herbs and spices. Traditionally served with pita bread, fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, and accompanied by sauces such as tzatziki, it’s a versatile and flavorful meal. Souvlaki is nutrient-rich, providing high-quality protein from the meat, fiber from the vegetables, and healthy fats from olive oil or yogurt-based sauces. However, the healthiness can depend on preparation; grilled meat is a leaner option, but processed or heavily marinated versions may contain added sodium or preservatives. Whole-grain pita enhances nutritional value, while fried accompaniments may increase calorie count. With balanced ingredients, souvlaki can be a wholesome option in Mediterranean cuisine, offering fresh flavors and satisfying textures.
