Tzatziki Sauce

Tzatziki sauce is a creamy yogurt-based condiment flecked with grated cucumber and herbs. It tastes tangy and garlicky with a cool, refreshing bite, and has a thick, spoonable texture; common uses include as a dip, spread for wraps and gyros, or topping for grilled meats and vegetables, and it is sold refrigerated in tubs or made fresh.\n\nRooted in Greek and broader Eastern Mediterranean cuisines, it developed alongside related yogurt–cucumber sauces such as cacik. It spread globally through Greek eateries and home cooking, with variations in herbs and yogurt richness.
