...Woulld definitely make again...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Ina is one of my favorite Food Network Chefs. Her recipes are easy to follow and full of flavor. I tried the tzatziki and... thought it was very good. I will definitely make this recipe again. The only thing I would change would be. to cut down the salt to 1 tsp. That's just my opinion because it tasted a little on the salty side for me. Read more

I tried this recipe today and it was really really good. I was unable to find any greek yogurt at any of my local stores so... i used plain and drained it for 3 hours then used it. I was so impressed with how well this turned out and will making it for all my family gatherings from now on. Really really yummy!Read more

So Delish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this yummy sauce to go with chicken gyros. It's so easy and delicious. I didn't have the white wine vinegar, but it... turned out awesome. It was so good that I made another batch to take to a party to serve with pita chips. Everyone loved it.Read more
