Tzatziki, also known as cacık or tarator, is a class of dip, soup, or sauce found in the cuisines of Southeastern Europe. Originated in Greece.

Authentic Greek tzatziki is most often made with sheep or goat yogurt. Authentic Tzatziki is a salted yogurt and cucumber dip that’s made of strained yogurt, shredded cucumber, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and herbs. It also has red wine vinegar, dill, mint, parsley, thyme.

Here we add a healthy twist to our Tzatziki and make it more colourful for the Indian summer fun.
