Tzatziki sauce is a staple in some Middle Eastern cuisines and is pretty darn delicious! The actual word "tzatziki" started being used in the mid-20th century which can be linked to Turkish and Persian words that relate to herbs, such as cacıχ, or ژاژ. Tzatziki sauce is filled with different herbs which explains the name exactly. Traditionally, tzatziki is served either as a dip with pita bread, salmon or lamb gyros, or other alternatives.
