Did you make this?Let me know how it turned out in the comments below!
Yikes! I just ran out of lemons. What can I use instead? I can’t go out to the market… : (
Wine vinegar
Thank you. Your recipe is my go to. I add just a little mint though.
Perfect, delicious, simple Tzatziki!!
Great recipe! I used a regular cucumber (seeded), less garlic (personal preference) and did find the fresh dill as a good component to the yogurt. Paired this with the (amazing!) Chicken Soulvaki recipe – excellent dinner! Thanks Ali!!!
I made this with some leftover greek yogurt I had in my kitchen, It turned out sooooo good. I love the taste of the garlic with the yogurt. I didn’t have any dill so I used cumin seeds instead, It made it even better. thank you so much for the recipe! <3
I never post reviews for recipes but this one is just too good! I am OBSESSED! It is seriously so delicious. Thank you!
A tablespoonful on grilled or poached salmon is fantastic
Excellent! The whole family loved it! Thank you for sharing!
I have recently joined Weight Watchers in an attempt to shed 50 pounds. Fat free Greek yogurt has zero points. Have you ever made it with fat free yogurt or do you really need to use the full fat?
I made it this evening with fat-free Greek yogurt because I picked it up by accident. It turned out great. No issues with consistency or flavor.
Absolutely delicious! Reminds me fondly of the tzatziki I tried in Athens! I love how adjustable this recipe is, as well– I used a little less than a tablespoon of dill and it was perfect for me.
