Tzatziki – A Refreshing Greek Classic

This simple cucumber and Greek yogurt sauce is the perfect addition to warm summer meals. Fresh, creamy, and naturally rich in probiotics, tzatziki pairs beautifully with grilled meat, steamed vegetables, or as a healthier alternative to mayonnaise-based sauces and dips.

It is naturally gluten-free and can also fit into an anti-Candida meal plan when prepared with unsweetened Greek yogurt that contains live probiotic cultures and has a lower lactose content. A fermented plant-based yogurt can also work well as an alternative.

Notes for Anti-Candida Diets and Lactose Sensitivity

• Choose full-fat Greek yogurt without added sugar, ideally with live probiotic cultures.
• If you are sensitive to lactose, use a fermented coconut or almond yogurt without added fruit or sugar.
• Garlic and olive oil contain naturally occurring compounds traditionally valued for their antimicrobial properties.
• Cucumber and dill are refreshing ingredients that may help support digestion and cooling during warmer months.
