      I really liked this recipe. Never thought about putting mint into tzatziki and will admit I was skeptical but now I will ALWAYS use mint. I also didn't use Greek yogurt just a thick balkan and I also didn't bother draining it through the cheese cloth. With regard to the cucumber I just grated it and squeezed it dry as best i could with my hands. Maybe it was runnier than authentic tzatziki but nobody seemed to mind and definitely a lot less work. So yummy!

      This was excellent...or rather will be. I'm making it to put on french fries for supper tomorrow. A 'recipe' a co-worker told me about. Hopefully I will still have some left! I also used greek yogurt. So much easier!! And omitted the mint. I may add a little pepper to the top of the completed dish but right now I'm eating this with a spoon!

      Yummy and easy. Served it with some thin sliced beef on naan bread with feta and tomatoes and made one of my favorites to go with it, " evelyn/athens Greek Potatoes (Oven-Roasted and Delicious!)" and it made a great meal. Close to gyro without freaking out my gyro hating partner, and she loved it. Thanks for a great recipe,

      Soo good, i could just eat it alone with a spoon! I down sized it because i knew we wouldn't need that whole amount. I used 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt and threw in a heaping large spoonful of lowfat sour cream in also. i prob only used about 1/2 of a large seedless cuke, diced really finely. i still kept to the garlic amount with about 2 tsp. a few squeezes of lemon, some salt and pepper. Awesomeness. I regretted the small amount later. We eat it originally with greek kabobs but the next night we were fighting over the leftovers with some grilled pork. I made a chimichurri to go with the pork and my husband mixed that and the tzatziki and was drooling thru the meal. thanks..

      I'm from Chicago and there are lots of gyro stands around. I never knew what was IN tsatsiki let alone how to make it. This sauce tastes and smells just like the ones I'm used to. It brings back lots of good memories. Definitely use Greek yogurt if you can. I found it at WalMart without much trouble. Now that I moved, I have to make my own gyros at home, and this recipe is tops.

      Great recipe. I used greek yogurt also, so eliminated the straining step. We loved this recipe. I made gyros last night and wanted to make my own tzatziki sauce and this was great. Thank you Rita for another great recipe.

      Another hit, Rita! I used Greek yogurt (no need to strain) and omitted the optionals. Perfection!

      This is good. I didn't use the optionals. I would make this again.

      A helpful trick I learned at Opa in Halifax ( amazing food!) Try putting your grated cucumber in a napkin or clean t-towel and ring it out. The juice can be saved in the refrigerator for the mornings that you can get rid of those bags under your eyes...It works! great recipe. Don't be afraid to use sour cream ( the thick stuff) or greek yogurt. It's thicker and won't require as much olive oil. I didn't care for the mint but I have a few bones to pick with mint.I prefer dill weed. The fresher the better. Although I have made it with cilantro( Chinese parsley) also.

      Fabulous! First time for kids eating Gyros. They were hesitant to try the Tzatziki sauce. I excepted them to skip the sauce but they kept adding more! I used much less cucumber because we hate the taste of cucumber. Served with "Gyros - an Authentic Recipe for Making Them at Home" and "Greek Pita Bread".

      Love this recipe! I just made it for the second time, and I can't wait to eat it again! I made it with Greek yogurt, just like some of the previous reviewers suggested. This made the Z sauce nice and thick and oh so yummy! My husband and I ate at a Greek restaurant a few nights ago, and both agreed this sauce was much better than the restaurant's sauce. Try it! You'll love it.

      Good, except that there's too much garlic. I love garlic, but this is too much even for me, considering that it's raw. I will probably just use one clove next time.

      Yummy! I cut this into thirds to serve with a special dish and it was wonderful. I used Greek yogurt and fresh mint from the garden. Thanks for sharing!

      I cut this recipe in thirds, as I didn't need the full amount. I also used Greek yogurt, so was able to skip steps 1-3. The flavor of this was perfect- just tart enough from the yogurt and lemon, and just herbal enough from the fresh mint. I'll definitely be making this again! Made for ZWT6.

      Hard to believe I haven't reviewed this in the past. I used Greek yogurt which eliminated the need for additional straining and fresh mint. The recipe was reduced to 1 cup and used to dress turkey wraps today at lunch. Made for enjoyed for *ZWT6*

      After a few adjustments this came out very well. I used about 11 oz of Greek yogurt, and one cucumber, 1 clove of garlic, the juice of half a small lemon, a drizzle of olive oil and 1/2 tsp dried mint. let it sit for a while and it was still to salty from the cukes that I rinsed twice! So I threw in 3T sour cream, 1 tsp red wine vinegar and 1/2 tsp dill. then I threw it all in the magic bullet and whirled it around a good bit. Served this alongside Very Greek Grilled Chicken and was really nice. I will have to make this next time I make my marinated lamb! Thanks RITA
