History & cultural context

Tzatziki is a yogurt-and-cucumber dip widely eaten in Greece, generally understood by food historians as a Greek adaptation of yogurt-and-cucumber preparations found across the wider Ottoman-influenced and Middle Eastern culinary world (related to dishes such as Turkish cacık and various regional yogurt-cucumber salads). Its exact adoption timeline into Greek cuisine isn't precisely documented, so it's best treated as part of a broader shared regional tradition rather than a dish invented in Greece alone.
