Herb tzatziki is a cool yogurt dip made with cucumber, fresh herbs and often garlic. It is closely related to Greek tzatziki and Turkish cacık, but the generous herbs give this version a particularly fresh, aromatic flavor.
Herb tzatziki is made by mixing yogurt with grated or finely diced cucumber, chopped fresh herbs and, if you like, garlic. Drain or squeeze excess cucumber liquid first, then chill the dip so the flavors can mingle.
Dill and mint are classic choices for herb tzatziki, while parsley can add a greener, milder flavor. Chop the herbs finely and dry them well after washing so they flavor the yogurt without adding excess moisture.
Herb tzatziki goes well with grilled meat, fish, roasted vegetables, flatbread and mezze. Serve it chilled as a dip or spoon it beside a warm, spicy main dish for a cool, tangy contrast.
Herb tzatziki has a more pronounced fresh-herb flavor than versions made mostly with yogurt and cucumber. The exact difference depends on the recipe, but adding plenty of dill, mint or parsley makes the herbs a defining part of the dip.
Yes, Greek yogurt works well in herb tzatziki because its thick texture makes a creamy dip. If it feels too dense, stir in a little water or lemon juice gradually; avoid adding cucumber liquid, which can make it runny.
To keep herb tzatziki thick, squeeze the grated cucumber before mixing and use thick yogurt. Wash and dry the herbs thoroughly, and add any thinning liquid a little at a time rather than pouring it in all at once.
Herb tzatziki keeps best in a covered container in the refrigerator and is usually most appealing within a couple of days. Cucumber can release water as it sits, so stir it before serving and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Freezing herb tzatziki is not recommended. Yogurt can separate after thawing, while cucumber turns soft and releases water; fresh herbs also lose some of their bright flavor. Make a fresh batch instead for the best texture.
Yes, herb tzatziki can coat chicken or vegetables before cooking, but its yogurt base may brown quickly over high heat. For a marinade, reserve a clean portion before serving and wipe off excess coating before grilling.

Herb tzatziki here refers to Turkish-style cacık: a cool mixture of yogurt, cucumber and fresh herbs such as dill or mint. It may be thick enough to scoop or loosened with water to a spoonable, almost drinkable consistency; garlic is a common addition. It is especially welcome in warm weather, served chilled alongside everyday meals rather than treated only as a dip.
Its tangy yogurt, crisp cucumber and fragrant herbs make a refreshing counterpoint to rice, grilled vegetables or meat. It also works with warm flatbread as a light snack. Yogurt gives it some protein—4.3 g per 100 g—while cucumber and herbs keep the dish fresh-tasting and light. For a less rich version, use plain yogurt and thin it with a little cold water.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
