E.g. Tzatziki.Tzatziki is a cool, refreshing dip from the Mediterranean best eaten with grilled meats and spicy food. It requires few ingredients, and hardly any prep, yet so tasty and moreish. Its core ingredients, which deliver the overall refreshing experience, are grated cucumber and freshly chopped mint. These, along with a very generous amount of garlic for extra oomph, are mixed into a bowl of yogurt and seasoned with salt. Some versions switch the mint for dill, another refreshing herb.
