A summer dip

The perfect refreshing dish for the summer! Served cold as an appetizer or as a side with savory meats, the Greek Tzatziki mixes yogurt, cucumber, garlic and dill in perfect proportions.

Often used as a simple dip, it can also be used to cool the fire of spicy dishes.

During the summer it can even be mixed with a small amount of water to become a cold soup, ideal for these hot summer days.

Although this dip is most commonly found in Greek cuisine, some similar versions appear in Serbian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Armenian and even in Asian cuisine as a Raita.
