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

I scaled this recipe down to 2 cups so that I would only need 1 cucumber. It was enjoyed by everyone at dinner last night both with raw veggies and on top of Chickpea Balls - Revithokeftedes. We did end up adding more garlic to taste, possibly necessary because of scaling the recipe down by 2/3's and I allowed the sauce to sit in the refrigerator for a day before serving. Made for ZWT6 SSaSSy's.

This turned out fanTASTic! I added a bit more lemon juice, diced the cucumbers, and replaced the mint with dill, which I much prefer. I served it with fresh made pita, and it was so delicious!

Thank you! I first made this last summer when we had an abundance of cucumbers and I loved it so much I forwarded the recipe to friends and family, but am just now getting around to reviewing it after getting a pregnancy craving for it the other day and making it again. I'm not a huge fan of either cucumbers or plain yogurt, but something truly magical happens to the combination of ingredients in this recipes. Plus it's such an incredibly healthy craving that I don't have to worry about giving in. Four thumbs up from me and the baby! Oh, and thank you to the other reviewer who suggested using coffee filters to drain the yogurt. Brilliant!

Very nice! Only change I made was to use a little dried mint instead of fresh because it's all I had on hand. Also took advantage of the "or more to taste" comment on the garlic because I love tzatziki with lots of garlic so used about quadruple the amount. It was great served in liberal amounts over BBQ lamb hamburgers and sausages along with a greek style salad.

WOW, what a super duper yummy authentic tzatziki recipe! Mmmm!!!! I scaled it down to serve only two (using 1 cucumber) and ate it in combination with millet. It was so tasty, just the right amount of garlic and herbs and had the most creamy consitstency! I imagine this to be great with veggie dippers or crackers, pita chips etc. Following Nougat's suggestion I added in some dill (left out the mint due to personal preference), which was a lovely addition. Ill surely make this often again! THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, ~Rita~! Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #18 January 2010.

THE REAL DEAL!! Here's how I managed mine.. I halved the recipe because I couldn't find that cheesecloth so I used a coffee filter. Just 1 and got it wet beforehand. Used only 1 cucumber and I grated it with a cheese grater. Used the ground pepper but only a pinch and the mint and let me tell ya.. I am VERY impressed!

I loved this. made as posted with the addition of about a teaspoon of dried dill. Easy to make with a wonderful fresh flavor. Shared with co-workers, now I have to make more! Thanks for a recipe that tastes great and is still good for you, no guilt here!

Delicious! I forgot to seed the cucumbers but it still worked out fine. I also used greek yogurt to save time.

This sauce is great. I used Greek yogurt, which saved me a lot of time and effort, and served it with ground turkey gyros, for a flavorful and healthy meal. Thank you.
