Low-fat tzatziki

Low-fat tzatziki is a lighter version of the traditional Greek condiment made from yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs like dill or mint. This low-fat version uses skimmed yogurt or reduced-fat Greek yogurt to offer a healthier option without sacrificing the fresh and creamy flavor characteristic of tzatziki.

Originating from Greece and very popular in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, tzatziki is commonly used as a sauce to accompany grilled meats, such as souvlaki, or for dipping vegetables and pita bread. Its light and refreshing texture makes it ideal for enhancing dishes without adding too many calories or fats.

Among its properties, low-fat tzatziki is an important source of protein derived from yogurt, contains probiotics beneficial for digestive health, and is low in calories and saturated fats, making it a suitable option for balanced and weight-control diets.

In Latin America, although tzatziki is not a traditional ingredient, it can be found under descriptive or adapted names such as yogurt and cucumber sauce, Greek yogurt dip, or simply light tzatziki.
