I made this last night to drizzle onto lamb kabobs tonight. I deseeded my cucumber, then shredded it, added my minced garlic, 2 cups of the best Greek yogurt on the market in the US, omitted the sour cream and the mayo (never had it in Greece), salt & pepper. Then tasted it, my adjustments were; the juice of two small lemons that were languishing in the fridge, 1 teaspoon Greek Seasoning (Penzeys), 1 TBS dried dill, 1 TBS fresh minced mint. Then since I didn't care for the consistency of the shredded cucumber, I dumped the whole thing in my processor and processed for about a minute, tasted it again, I was almost there! So I turned on the processor another minute and drizzled my favorite peppery olive oil while running. It was perfect and the consistency was more to my liking.

very good, tastes pretty close to the resturants tzatziki sauce. I did what others did and didn't add the mayo but after tasting it, it really just tasted like sour cream, after adding the mayo the flavor was spot on..I wouldn't change a thing about this except for the serving size, I scaled it to 10 ( but I'm only feeding 4 people) and I added chives for some color. Excellent recipe, thanks!!

Really good and thick, delicious sauce made as written, but makes a really great base recipe as well. I like it with lots and lots of extra garlic and dill while omitting the mayo, personally.

Loved this basic recipe. Didn't follow it exactly, so can't really give it 5 stars. Did not use mayo and added dried dill and garlic. Delish on meat, as dip, even added a dollop on my chili. Very good and fresh tasting.

Omitted mayo and added dill, lemon juice and garlic powder. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, very helpful. It was very good and we had it with the homeade gyro meat recipe on the site. Love gyro night!

DELICIOUS. Like many others, I left out the mayo, and I used slightly less than a cup of Greek Yogurt (it's what I had on hand...) and light Sour Cream. I didn't add dill because we're eating these with chickpea and red pepper patties, so I'm leaving it a bit plain so the patties will shine in whole wheat pitas. Next time I make true falafel, though, I will be adding dill. Super easy to make and YUMMY!!
