TZATZIKI DRESSING IN PORTRAIT

Tzatziki Origins

The word Tzatziki originates from the Persian zhazh, that means herb mixture.

It goes back to the Ottoman Empire stemming from tarator that was the name of a dish made of ground walnuts and vinegar.

The word itself comes from the Turkish word cacık which in turn is thought to have originated from the Armenian word cacıg.
