Tzatziki
Also known as: Τζατζίκι
Greek yogurt and cucumber dip with garlic, olive oil and vinegar.
About Tzatziki
Tzatziki is a Greek yogurt-and-cucumber dip served as an appetizer and accompaniment. This profile follows the national tourism organisation recipe, keeping its concise cucumber, yogurt and garlic base.
Cool cucumber and tangy Greek yogurt soften the raw garlic while olive oil gives the dip roundness. Vinegar and salt add a clean, savoury lift without turning it into a sharp dressing.
The dip is pale white with fine green cucumber flecks and a faint olive-oil sheen. It is thick, creamy and spoonable, with the squeezed cucumber keeping it fresh rather than watery.
