Tzatziki Sauce -Yogurt and Cucumber Dip
jslingo
"Drain some low-fat yogurt overnight to make this yummy cucumber dressing. This is a delicious topping for grilled chicken or meat. It's also a great dip for veggies and pita chips. Added another clove of garlic ( werewolves in Florida). Eliminated the parsley and go a little bit heavier on the fresh dill."

This turned out excellent! I haven't made tzatziki before, looking forward to making this again! Don't forget the salt and pepper to taste.

This was delicious. I used Greek yogurt so I didn't need to strain the yogurt, only the shredded cucumber. I added just a pinch of mint at the end. This was also delicious on fish/shrimp taco...

OMG, this is addicting! Couple of changes. Used Greek yogurt (no straining needed) and used about 1 tsp of garlic salt instead of fresh garlic and salt, only because we are not fans of raw gar...

Just have to watch the liquid from the cucumbers, can get awfully wet if not squeezed and drained enough. Some of it may come from the fact that we used our own garden cucumbers. Extremely fresh

Really good on gyros. I'll definitely make it again. I loved dill, so I tried this recipe over others that use mint. I didn't make any major changes: I used Turkish yogurt, and didn't drain i...

This is a solid recipe for tzatziki. If you shortcut by using Greek yogurt instead of draining regular yogurt, then I recommend that you don't drain/squeeze the moisture from the grated cucumber...
