Did you make this?Let me know how it turned out in the comments below!
this cucumber looks grated..is it?
Oops! Yes, I meant to say grated not diced. (Although you can use either.) :)
Great photos and you get the recipe just right! I have seen many tzatziki recipies that miss one ingredient or another but your’s is just right! Try it with fried zuchinies! In Greece they go hand in hand. :)
You were an opera major? Wow #funfact! Your tzatziki looks amazing! I was just eating at a Greek place last weekend and feeling the need to make tzatzki myself. You have clearly done all the heavy lifting for me! It looks amazing! How did you get your cucumber that thin? Did you use the second smallest holes on a box grater?
This is one of my favorite dips! Gorgeous! Pinned!
Recipe for the bread please??? (A)
Oooh, I actually don’t have a recipe for pita yet on the site. There a bunch around if you Google it. I bought mine from our neighborhood market.
I first discovered tzatziki in Berlin as a sauce on doner kabobs. It changed my world. I’ve never made it before, but I may need to start!
I’m amazed by your photography skills! Looks amazing!
Your photos are always so beautiful! : ) Tzatziki is definitely one of my very favorites!
Yum, just made this. Delicious. Waiting for some homeade pita
bread to rise and I’m all set.
Wow pretty sure I never would have passed that linguistics course in college! This tzatziki looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing, it’s one of my favorite dips/sauces!
