Tzatziki is a creamy, refreshing dip rooted in Greek cuisine, often enjoyed in Mediterranean dishes. Made primarily from strained yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh dill or mint, it boasts a tangy and herbal flavor profile. This versatile condiment pairs beautifully with pita bread, grilled meats, or as a zesty topping for salads and wraps. Nutritionally, tzatziki is a lighter alternative to many cream-based dips, thanks to its foundation of protein-packed yogurt and hydrating cucumbers. Its probiotics from the yogurt can support digestion and gut health, while olive oil adds heart-healthy fats. However, depending on the recipe, sodium levels could rise due to added salt, so moderation is key. Tzatziki’s wholesome ingredients make it a flavorful and nutritious choice that aligns with Mediterranean diet principles.
