Tzatziki Sauce

Cultural Context

Tzatziki sauce, a staple of Greek cuisine, is a refreshing yogurt-based condiment traditionally served with grilled meats, especially gyros and souvlaki. Its origins trace back to ancient Mediterranean cultures, where yogurt was a common ingredient. Today, tzatziki is enjoyed worldwide, often featured in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes, and has inspired various adaptations.
