  1. Great sauce to top our homemade gyros. I may add more seasonings next time to add a little extra "oomph".
     
  2. Wonderful taste. I drained yogurt instead and drained and squeezed dry my cucuber too. The amounts of spices was a great ratio to the yogurt. It made a great combo paired with gyro meat.
     
  3. Very easy. I also used plain yogurt instead of sour cream. I used this sauce to top Gryo Meat (81048).
     
  4. I made mine with a little less garlic powder than the garlic salt that was called for as I never have garlic salt on hand. It was great. I was looking for a recipe that didn't use greek yogurt and this one was perfect. We even ate the leftovers with potato chips. MMMmmm
     
  5. This tasted good as is, although for my taste, I found the garlic salt made the sauce too salty, so on second attempt substituted garlic powder for the garlic salt. I also added more cucumber and substituted lowfat plain yogurt for the sour cream. With these adjustments Gyro Sauce #57747 is now a permanent addition to my recipe rotation.

  3. I used plain yogurt instead of sour cream, put it through the blender (i used fresh dill and didn't want whole herbs in there) and it was excellent! I've always used yogurt for middle eastern dishes, so I couldn't bring myself to use sour cream!
     
  4. Very good - I have always bought gyro sauce from a greek deli but this recipe is so close to the real thing, I'll make my own from now on. I think the deli makes theirs with yogurt instead of sour cream. I might try that next time.
