A delicious authentic accent to Souvlaki, Greek Salad & Oven Roast potaoes for "Greek nite" at my house! I used Fat-Free yogurt which I strained overnight in a coffee filter to remove the excess liquid. I grated the cucmber into a colander lined with cheesecloth, left it to drain overnight, then squeezed out any remaining water. Thanx for another winner Ev!

    Wonderful Tzatziki! It tasted even better than the Tzzatziki served at my favorite Greek restaurant! The only change I made was adding 1 more clove of garlic. Delicious! Thanks Evelyn!

    We loved this recipe! I made it to go with gyro burgers (#54398), pita (#10901) and a Greek salad with this dressing (#57642). I used Daisy sour cream (that's what I had) and exactly doubled the recipe for our large family to have leftovers. It worked except for the garlic. I won't double the garlic again...too garlicky! And this opinion is from a family who believes garlic is a side dish. Next time I plan to only add 1 1/2 times the garlic instead. I put the whole garlic cloves, olive oil, vinegar and dill in the blender to emulsify it completely before adding it to the sour cream & cukes. This recipe is going in our favorites folder. Thank you, Evelyn, for posting this wonderful recipe!

    I thought this was really good! I thought the amount of oil was a bit much so I reduced that. I used fat free sour cream. I thought this was very tasty. I think the dill is a must, I will put that in for sure next time. I think I will try a little bit of fresh lemon (or zest). I loved the dish though and will make again. We used this on our gyros, and served with hummus and flat bread.

    This was very nice to use with dinner tonight (Di Neal's Shawarma recipe). I decided to do as chia did, and made two very small small batches of this, one using sour cream and one using thick yogurt...and I found that the yogurt was much more to my liking than the sour cream. This was very tasty and I will make it again. I too enjoyed the addition of the vinegar, and I used dry dill, not fresh, as that was all I had on hand. Thanks for the recipe

    Great recipe! I added a little black pepper and onion powder. I also think I would half it next time, it made A LOT.

    Great recipe. Simple and very flavourful. I added the juice of 1/2 lemon for an extra zing.

    This is the best tzatziki ever! We served it last night for part of Greek inspired dinner with friends. Everyone loved it. I made with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream--my DH liked it so well he even ate it for breakfast this morning. This will become standard fare for our table. Thanks for posting!

    Loved this recipe alot. I used light yogurt which I placed in a coffee filter lined strainer and let drain over night. This made it nice and thick for this wonderful recipe. I added lots of the optional dill 'cause in my house dill isn't optional, we love it so much. Served this with a big Greek inspired meal and was happily surprised to find that our 5 year old foster daughter loves this stuff and the other Greek recipes we sprung on her tonight. Thanks for posting this, it will be made often.
