Garlic Feta Dip

This is the type of tzatiki that I get in resuarants. I have tried the other recipes, and even thought they are more authentic, they don't taste as good. This recipe is simply incredible. I am a garlic lover and have been in heaven for the three weeks since I discovered this recipe. I personally recommend Romainian feta, if you can find it. I get it at a cheese speciality shop, its a little creamier, and cheaper. I also add two cubes of frozen dill weed, available at most grocery stores. The first time I made this I used 8 cloves of garlic, after all I have a very high threshold. That was tooooo much, even for me, although I ate it all! I am good at four cloves. The processor seems to magnify the garlic taste, as does letting it sit overnight. I started with the "pulsing" mode in the processor, but I like the smooth texture, so now I use the "high" position. This is the perfect compliment to the "pork souvlaki" recipe on this sight (substitued with chicken breast though). I have now completed my search for the perfect chicken-souvlaki with tzatiki combo, and I don't care about authenticity.

This was a great recipe, I think people are complaining because they expect tzatziki, but it's a completely different sauce. I made it as is (minus the blender)and it was delicious. I used it as a marinade for boneless, skinless chicken breasts and drumsticks for the kids. I baked the chicken and put it under the broiler for the last couple of minutes to improve the colour, it was delicious. I reserved some to use as dip with pita with the supper and topped the whole meal off with greek salad. What a meal! The kids and I finished the chicken and the dip off today with pita sandwiches, this is a keeper. I'm giving it a 5 star for it's taste, easiness and versatility!

This dip is GREAT! I added the juice of 1/2 of a lemon as I saw others did. I also read about it being runny so I put slightly less yogurt in it and the consistency was fine. I also added a handful of fresh cilantro which gave it a really fresh flavor. There were a couple people taken aback by the amount of garlic though.
