How To Make Tzatziki

this isnt good - yr supposed to salt the cucumber after youve seeded and peeled but before you finely chop - then WASH the salt off them - then finely chop. Also mint is most oftenly used with dill being a lesser presence in the taste.

i'm hungry now!lol! Kisses from Greece ; )

it doesnt contain lemon juice either....i'm greek i should know.....its just cuccumber yogurt olive oil salt and garlic(some use vinegar instead of garlic)

Married to a Greek and having lived in Greece for 25 years, tzatziki was a frequent dish on our table. It is better to grate the cucumber well before mixing the ingredients to drain all the liquid, don't be afraid to use your hands to squeeze the water out- this prevents your tzatziki from being to watery. The traditional tzatziki doesn't contain dill.

oh dear!being greek, don't think this is the traditional recipe of it, definetely instead of natural yoghurt you must use greek yoghurt, much more than what is mentioned here, instead of lemon juice, white wine vinegar and white pepper...also slightly different technique...sorry guys

Thank you for the recipy, but why is this recipy for Tzatziki filed under Northen Europe; isn't it from Greece, which is Southern Europe?
