Tasty, but I made the mistake of straining the yogurt as most reviewers suggested, but failed to cut back on salt and lemon. If you strain the yogurt, you should cut back on the lemon zest and the salt by half. It's amazing how much liquid strained out of the yogurt. Very important step-- think it would have been runny otherwise.

Ok this is really good. It taste like restaurant style. I was not able to add dill, it tasted good anyway. For the summer this has no price as is lite and refreshing. I would recommend to adjust the lemon to your taste and the salt too, but if you don't do anything to the recipe you would not be dissapointed. I agree with others about the runny texture. I solved using regular yogurt strained or greek yogurt and to allow the cucumber to drain the water . To drain the cucumber you could add a little of salt and drain for half to an hour - don't forget to adjust salt in the recipe if you do this).

Got rave reviews and had one friend literally just eating it with a spoon. LOL I found the Greek yogurt in our health food store without a problem. My vegetarian friend said it is a MUST for this dish. Thanks for sharing.

I think the tablespoon of salt + pepper is definitely a type-o for teaspoon, but its still very good.

I made this to go with some naan bread that I had and it was wonderful! I did omit the garlic and the olive oil. I alo scaled the recipe back some by using a 4oz container of plain greek yogurt. Its best to use Greek yogurt, this way you don't have to strain the yougurt. I also added a bit of Greek seasoning to my mixture.

This is a almost perfect recipe, you must strain the yogurt, and cut down on the salt a bit, creamier is always better for dipping, so keep that in mind! Otherwise, this is a fantastic recipe, very similar to my families! ;)

This tzatziki was a huge hit for my husbands birthday dinner. I served it with crisp pita and greek olives. Went wonderfully with my roasted lamb. I did learn though a little goes a long way.

This IS the real deal!! I only made a 1/3 of this recipe and doubled the called for garlic. This was the best Tzatziki! Thank you!! I used lowfat yogurt and let it drain with a coffee filter for about an hour. SO good!

I did enjoy this recipe, but next time I will cut WAY back on the pepper. The pepper flavor was too strong for me, and I had to go back and add more of everything else to balance it out. I served this with pita bread and the "Summer Feta Burger with Cream Cheese Spread" burger patties from this site(in place of the cream cheese spread). Our friends were fighting over the leftovers!

Yummy! It's kind of thin but I think it makes a great, light salad dressing this way.

We found this a bit too lemony for a dip. I think it would be nice served with fish, however, given the lemon flavor. I agree with another reviewer who noted that the salt and pepper are a bit too heavy.

Great. A really authentic flavour and virtually calorie free when made with fat free yoghurt. Made a massive quantity Even though I only made a third.
