What is tzatziki?
If you’re unfamiliar, tzatziki is a dish that comes from the Southeast European and Middle Eastern regions. It’s known for its yogurt and cucumber base and is commonly seasoned with garlic, salt, and olive oil. This stuff takes plain Greek yogurt to an entirely new level!
This dish is perfect as a sauce or dip and tastes especially delicious when paired with these Keto Chicken Shawarma Kebabs! It’s wildly versatile and is great for a wide audience. Served cold, I’ve found that everyone loves this yummy tzatziki.
The tastiest keto tzatziki EVER
One of my fave low-carb recipes of all time, this tzatziki is SO yummy when used as a dip. I love to eat it with veggies such as carrots or celery, or spread atop some of my Low-Carb Crackers!
Another option for serving tzatziki is to eat it over your favorite protein, like beef, lamb, or chicken. It works incredibly well as a sauce, adding TONS of juicy flavor. Spoon a dollop atop your favorite main dish, and enjoy!

Net carbs in keto tzatziki
Get excited, because this tzatziki dip is one of the BEST keto sauces, with only 1.6 grams of net carbs per serving. You can enjoy a heaping portion of this without kicking yourself out of ketosis! And, trust me… a heaping portion you will want. This stuff is SO good.
Storing your low-carb tzatziki
If you wind up with some leftover tzatziki (though, let’s be real… the chances are slim), you can store it in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to store it an airtight container to maintain ultimate flavor!
Some people find that “second day” tzatziki is the best, because it allows the flavors to truly “set in.”
No matter if you eat it the first day, second day, or third day, I know you’ll love it!
