Worked in a Greek restaraunt for 7 years and this is one of the best recipes for this sauce I have tried yet - thanks!

This was great ... I used 1/2 yogurt and 1/2 sour cream and this variation made it very zippy. Sauce is very tangy.

I add chopped dill and use lemon juice instead of vinegar to this basic recipe.

A friend made this sauce to use on grilled chicken/pita sandwiches on a camping trip. My husband DOES NOT like cucumbers but tried it - and loved it! Ate 2 sandwiches!

Have tried many recipes for tzatziki, but this one beats them all. It is quick and easy AND tastes great! Took it to a party and everyone loved it. The yogurt version is tangier, but the sour cream masks the garlic somewhat.

The ONLY reason I gave this recipe 5 stars is because there wasn't a 100 stars option!! :) I had my doubts only because using all fat free ingredients before has turned out terrible. This recipe, however was incredible! I couldn't stop telling my husband how awesome this sauce made my gyros!!! Thank you so much!

I agree this is delicious. I use Greek style fat- free yogurt and I use a small mesh strainer for the cucumber.
