Authentic Greek Tzatziki

This recipe is the real deal! Authentic Greek tzatziki is this simple - no added herbs like mint or dill. Plus the vinegar is a must, which you don't often find in recipes. This is a great recipe and I really enjoyed it!

The BEST! Made as written and was awesome!! The simplicity of the ingredients is what makes this sauce so wonderful! Made for pitas and the highlight for lunch! I took the tips to press/strain/drain the cucumber which worked well! Next time, might add a little onion powder or dried onion….just a personal preference but it really is great as is. So glad I found this recipe! Thanks for sharing it!

This was every bit as good as the tzatziki we get in Tarpon Springs Florida, a huge Greek community. I added one additional step which was to press the grated cucumber through a fine mesh sieve to remove some of the water. Makes a great dip for veggies or toasted pita also. 2 thumbs up!

This was good, but if I made it again, I would gradually add the yogurt to the shredded cucumber. For me, it was very heavy on the yogurt. I halved the recipe and added the yogurt, later realizing I should have cut back on it, my preference. I'd like to see and taste more of the cuke. I had it with Lamb Burgers from this site.

2.29.20 Best tzatziki I’ve ever made. For lack of a better explanation, it tastes “pure" (hope that makes sense). Also, my first time using FAGE® yogurt, and that is just the kind of thick, yet creamy yogurt that you need. Other recipes I’ve made have used chopped cucumber, but grating the cuke incorporates it much better into the tzatziki. Thanks for sharing, winner recipe!
