This dish is not only delicious but also rich in probiotics from the yogurt, promoting gut health.
History and Cultural Significance
Tzatziki has roots in ancient Greece, where yogurt was first made. The combination of yogurt with vegetables and herbs became a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. It reflects the Greek philosophy of using fresh and natural ingredients. Tzatziki is often served during festive occasions, family gatherings, and barbecues, embodying the spirit of sharing and hospitality.
Tips & Variations
