I can’t wait to try this, tzatziki has always seemed so exotically delightful but beyond my reach of creation. Your post un-shrouds the mystique and maybe I CAN make it. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Dan! I hope you do give it a try. I’ll soon be posting a recipe that uses this tzatziki sauce and if you like Greek, you’re going to love it. Thanks for visiting!
Oh my gosh! This is awesome! Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Hang tight for another Greek recipe coming up in the next few days that uses this tzatziki!
I’ve always wanted to make tzatziki sauce and Saturday was finally the day. It went great with your greek seasoning and gyros! Thanks!
Thanks so much for your feedback, Susan! Nothing beats homemade tzatziki sauce. You just have to be careful about going out in public afterwards – the garlic packs quite the punch! 🙂
1 cup is 8 ounces. Is it 16 or 8?
Hi, thanks for asking. It’s one cup, so 8 ounces.
do you let the chopped cucumber drain in a sieve before adding to other ingredients? Karen
Hello! No, I’ve never had the need to drain it since I remove the seeds/inner membrane, which contain a lot of the water.
Dont u have to strain the yogurt
Hi Erica, no, there’s no need to strain it.
Will make as soon as possible. Do you put sour cream in this recipe?
Hi Mary-Jane, I use Greek yogurt or whole-fat regular yogurt.
My grandad was 100 percent greek..i loved him beyond belief! And man he sure could cook! But when he died the cooking died with him.. And resturants are now my only resort! But the older i get.. The more i seem to really crave greek food more often.. i try my hand at different greek ingredients to see what i come up with! So I’m very thankful to see how you’ve simplified things… Very helpful! Thank-you so much! You’ve helped me recapture some of what was lost!
You’re welcome, Lisa Marie, and happy cooking!
