This is fast quick and easy. A Great alternative if you don't have plain yogurt to make Tatziki. I added a little bit of mayo with olive oil and a teaspoon of minced garlice. I didn't have fresh dill so I used dried. I also used reduced fat sour cream. I used this to top the Spinach and Feta Turkey burger (recipe can be found on this site) So good!

I had never made a dip with grated cucumber, but that is a wonderful tip. I salted the grated cucumber and let it drain for a few minutes in a colander, then squeezed it dry.

This was a great light and refrshing dip. I served with traditional gyro meat from this site and thought it was great. Made no changes whatsoever. It did make a lot though! Next time I will probably cut in half. Thanks!

It's OK; but it is just an Americanized version of the Greek Tzatziki - which uses Greek Yogurt, cucumber (Peeled, seeded and finely chopped), garlic, dill, and a tad of XVOO.

This recipe is almost identical to a salad that my husband grew up with in Germany. He uses dried dill and slices the cucumbers. We eat it often with fish and mashed potatoes. I had never thought of making a dip out of it - but that's a great way to provide that fresh flavor we love in different way. Just a tip - to drain the water from the cucumbers so they don't make the salad or dip watery - my husband sprinkles the cucumbers with quite a bit of salt and leaves it to pull the water out. Then drain the water off (I usually just put them in a colander to start and sit it over the sink). I'm not sure about the salt getting off of the shredded cucumbers, but it pretty much leaves with the cucumber juice so the cucumbers don't end up being too salty - just skip the salt in the recipe.

This is delicious for sure & Perfect for summer. I added freshly ground pepper and garlic powder and also used sea salt. Don't skimp on the lemon juice, it adds such a nice *zing* I took another's advice to squeeze the shredded (unpeeled) cucumber between paper towels and this worked perfectly to keep it from getting too runny. I served this with carrots, celery and cucumber slices. Yummy!! I'll make this often. Thanks!
