About Yogurt and cucumber salad

Yogurt and cucumber salad, also known as "tzatziki" in Greek cuisine or "raita" in Indian cuisine, is a refreshing and nutrient-packed dish. It combines creamy yogurt with crisp cucumbers, often enhanced by garlic, olive oil, dill, or mint, and sometimes a squeeze of lemon for added zest. This salad is celebrated across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines for its cooling properties and simplicity. Rich in probiotics from yogurt, it promotes gut health and aids digestion. Cucumbers provide hydration, vitamins, and antioxidants while being low in calories. The dish is naturally low in sugar and rich in protein, but keep an eye on added salt to maintain heart health. Perfect as a side dish, dip, or light snack, this salad is both flavorful and nourishing.
