Detox tzatziki is a light, chilled yogurt-and-cucumber dip or side dish seasoned with herbs. The “detox” label describes the style of the recipe, not a proven ability to remove toxins from the body.
To make Detox tzatziki, stir grated or finely chopped cucumber into plain yogurt, then add herbs such as dill or mint. Season to taste and chill it before serving; add a little water only if you want a thinner consistency.
Detox tzatziki is generally presented as a lighter, herb-forward take on regular tzatziki, which commonly includes yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and olive oil. Recipes vary, and the word “detox” does not mean the dip has a cleansing effect.
You do not have to peel cucumber for Detox tzatziki. Leave the skin on for more texture and color, or peel it if the skin is tough or you prefer a smoother dip. Remove excess cucumber liquid to keep the yogurt thick.
Dill and mint both work well in Detox tzatziki, adding a fresh flavor that suits cucumber and yogurt. Use one or combine them, and chop the herbs finely so they mix evenly through the dip.
Detox tzatziki turns watery when cucumber releases liquid into the yogurt or when too much water is mixed in. Squeeze excess liquid from grated cucumber and add any thinning liquid gradually; thicker yogurt can also help.
Serve Detox tzatziki with grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, pita, or grilled meat as a cool dip or side. It also works as a sandwich spread, especially with falafel or roasted vegetables.
Yes, you can make Detox tzatziki ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. The cucumber may release water as it sits, so stir it before serving and adjust the texture if needed.
No, Detox tzatziki has not been shown to detox or cleanse the body. It is a yogurt-and-cucumber dish; your liver and kidneys handle the body's normal processing and removal of waste.
Detox tzatziki can be a lighter alternative to richer dips or creamy sauces, but it does not cause weight loss on its own. How it fits into a meal depends on what you serve with it and your portion.

Detox tzatziki is a light take on cacık, the Turkish yogurt-and-cucumber dish, usually mixed with garlic and herbs such as dill or mint. Cacık can be thinner than Greek-style tzatziki, sometimes loosened with water until it is almost drinkable; recipes and consistency vary from one Turkish household to another.
Serve it chilled as a refreshing side with rice, beans or grilled food, or offer it as part of a mezze spread. The yogurt gives it some protein, while cucumber and herbs keep the flavor fresh; at 52 calories per 100 g, it is a relatively light addition to a meal. For a milder version, use less garlic, or thin it with a little water rather than adding extra oil.
