Delicious! I used Skyr (icelandic plain yogurt) and a bit of plain kefir to thin it out as I didn’t have regular plain yogurt, and it is a wonderful consistency, and really tasty. Love your website, thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much, Carol, I’m happy you enjoyed it and appreciate the feedback! :)
I love this recipe. I make it with homemade greek yogurt as well. If I’m serving as a dip I strain the yogurt a while longer. It holds up better with folks dipping in veggies or pita chips. Delicious!!!!
Fantastic, CCJudy, thanks so much for the feedback!
Ok, gotta ask. What do you mean by “strain the yogurt”? I didn’t see that step in the instructions an I am intrigued to learn of new techniques.
Thank you.
To me it depends on the consistency I’m looking for, on the runny side or a thicker sauce. Since I make my own yogurt and usually strain it for a more Greek style, I often don’t salt and strain the cucumbers because I need the moisture. It’s more of your desired results than anything.
Hello,
I can’t wait to try this recipe along with your gyro and Greek seasoning recipes! I appreciate your way of showing how to make the food as well. It makes it very easy to follow! I am excited to receive your newsletter.
Thank you! Don’t have any fresh dill….would 1 tsp dried work?
Yes, that will work, Sandra. Happy eating!
