Tzatziki sauce has its roots in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Greece and Turkey. Traditionally, it is made from strained yogurt mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, and various herbs. This delightful sauce can vary regionally, with some variations including the addition of lemon juice, dill, or mint, each imparting its unique flavor nuances. The combination of tangy yogurt and cooling cucumbers creates a refreshing dip or condiment that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, pita bread, and fresh vegetables.
