Although this tastes like Tzatziki sauce, it has the consistency of a poorly made cream soup. Click back and check the recipe for Tzatziki VII, and follow the submitter's instructions for draining the yogurt and cucumber. I wish I had.

My boyfriend and I really liked this sauce. It did get runny (probably from using a food processor and lowfat yogurt), but we fixed that by adding a few tablespoons of sour cream and chilling it in the freezer. It went great with the Gyro Burgers. Yummy.

Very runny...like the other reviews state(I wish I had read the reviews first), but I added a container full of cream cheese to thicken it up, and it tamed the mega-garlic too. Very tasty.

My daughters brought it to school and their Greek friend Olga exclaimed that it tasted just like her grandmothers tzatziki!

This was quite good. I used Greek yogurt and it was still a bit on the "thin" side. It was very tasty though! I'm a garlic fiend and I even added extra garlic. Very good. I'll make this again.

Good receipe 2 changes: drain yogart for about 1 hour through strainer to remove most of the liquid, grate cucumber on cheese grater, result being no bits. Result creamier sauce.

Pretty good. For those with runny yogurt problems, try using Fage Greek Yogurt. It doesn't separate!

This came out great, considering I have never made Tzatziki sauce. It was also fairly easy to make. Thank you

I used real greek yogurt instead of regular and it makes a world of difference! If you can find this in your grocery store it's worth the extra cost and effort. Excellent recipe otherwise. Everyone loved it with the Souvlaki recipe from this site. It's a keeper! Thank you.

Tasty recipe if you make sure to strain the yogurt (even if it is full-fat). I used balkan yogurt. I did not read the reviews before making it....so when it became runny from the food processor, I just strained it through some cheesecloth and it was perfect! Great served with garlicky pita or veggies!

Not sure if this is very authentic, but it is a very fast and tasty recipe! I thought it might be a little watery since the yogurt wasn't getting drained. I peeled and sliced the cucumber, salted them, then squeezed out the excess water before finely dicing it and throwing it into the yogurt. I also used dry dill. The flavor and consistency came out great!

I strained the yogurt and even pressed excess water out of the cucumber. The consistency came out perfect, but the taste was much too bland. I think this was because I used low fat yogurt. I'll try this one again using full fat yogurt.

Love this. Only complaint was that it was a bit runny...will have to try it sometime with the strained greek yogurt as another user suggested. Love the flavour.

To be truly superb, tzatziki MUST be made with strained, whole mild yogurt from Greece, otherwise the result will be runny as many users have noted. Also lemon juice is preferable to vinegar. But the one non-negotiable item is the strained, full fat yogurt.
