OMG! This is the real deal - very authentic (so say my Greek neighbors. I made the recipe exactly as written except for the salt. I only used 1 teasp. After I shredded the cucumber, I put it in a strainer and pressed out the water. I also let the mix sit, covered, overnight in the refrigerator. I liked it a lot more after it had a chance to meld the flavors. OUTSTANDING! Thank you, Ina!

Excellent recipe! I added fresh mint and it brightened the flavor even more.

The only change that I made to this recipe was using regular peeled cucumbers and chopping rather than grating them. I like having the crunchy chunks of cucumber in the tzatziki. Other than that this recipe is quick and easy and adds the best flavor to any Greek meal.

This is a great recipe! It tastes delicious. So easy too. I marinated chicken thighs in my leftover tzatziki and they came out great.

I have made this recipe twice and both times it was ecstatically delicious. This is guilt-free snacking! The first time I followed the amounts exactly but I was overwhelmed by the fresh garlic (it was still yummy. Last time I probably put half the amount of garlic, if that. I probably overdid the lemon because I just squeezed it directly into the bowl. It mellowed nicely by the next day though. I eat it with flat bread, carrots and pita chips. I love making this dish because the smell of the cucumber is so refreshing. I divide it up in containers to give as gifts and take for lunch.

5 star! I made the tzatziki sauce to serve with Ina's recipe for salmon cakes. Delish. I omitted the small amout of sour cream. I grated the English cucumber sans seeds on my Oxo mandoline using the julienne blade. The cucumber had nice long thin strips which were easy to squeeze out their excess water content. Then I chopped the long tendrils of cucumber and added them to the yoghurt mixture. Today, I ate some of the sauce with cracker bread and crispy Ari's brand whole wheat pita chips. This is a tzatziki keeper!!

Love this sauce! I've made it several times for gyros, and then used some leftovers on baked potatoes, instead of sour cream. YUMMY!!! Now I always have some on hand...
As a gastric bypass patient, I use fat-free Greek yogurt (it's higher in protein, in addition to no fat, and light sour cream. Just as yummy, but better meets my nutritional needs.
