Tzatziki is a traditional Greek condiment known for its cool and refreshing qualities. It typically consists of strained yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and various herbs such as dill or mint. This creamy and tangy sauce is widely used in Greek cuisine as a dip, accompaniment to grilled meats, or a topping for gyros and souvlaki.

The pronunciation often leads to variations in spelling (tsatsiki, tsatziki, tzatsiki), with "tzatziki" being the more widely accepted and recognized term. Regardless of its spelling, tzatziki adds a burst of flavor to dishes and is cherished for its distinct Mediterranean taste.
