Souvlaki is a popular Greek dish consisting of skewered and grilled meat, typically chicken, pork, or lamb, often seasoned with olive oil, lemon, garlic, and herbs. Though traditionally served on its own, it can also come wrapped in warm pita bread with fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions, and lettuce, and complemented by tzatziki sauce—a creamy blend of yogurt, cucumber, and dill. Souvlaki is high in protein and offers essential nutrients from lean meats and vegetables, making it a satiating option for balanced meals. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats and antioxidants, and the fresh ingredients add fiber and vitamins. However, certain versions may be higher in sodium and saturated fats, especially when paired with rich sauces or processed accompaniments. Choosing whole-grain pita and lighter sauce options can enhance its nutritional profile while keeping the authentic flavors intact.
