What can you substitute for tzatziki aka cucumber spread in a traditional middle eastern dinner?

Yogurt Sauce. A simple yogurt sauce made with plain yogurt, salt, and pepper is a great no-fuss replacement for tzatziki sauce. You can add garlic powder, chopped mint or a tiny bit of lemon juice to add more flavor.

Feta Cheese. Crumbled feta cheese is another classic Greek dish that can be used as a spread or dip in lieu of tzatziki. It adds a salty and tangy flavor to your meal. For a Mediterranean-style sandwich, consider replacing tzatziki sauce with feta cheese in a pita wrap or on a grilled pita bread.

Hummus. A chickpea-based dip that's popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, is made with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and cumin and is a great substitute for tzatziki sauce.

Baba Ghanoush. Roasted eggplant blended with tahini, lemon juice, and seasonings is a smoky, Middle Eastern dish.

Labneh. A strained yogurt from the Levant, is slightly thicker and tangier than tzatziki and can be drizzled or spread over dishes.
