Nice variation on tzatziki! I liked that this was a quick version that didn't need a long time to marinate. When I need a quick one, I'll be keeping this in mind. Thanks for sharing! ZWT9 -
This tzatziki was terrific! My first time making it! I used my serrated peeler to just shred the cucumber. A super easy taste of Greece. Stacy G for CQ 2016 Greece. -
This was indeed a great balance of flavours! The only change I made was to grate the cucumber. I think I have found my 'go to' Tzatziki! K9 Owned/Lesley -
I selected this recipe for Culinary Quest 2016. It was so quick and simple and yet it delivered a nice creamy and tasty flavor. I served it with swordfish souvlaki and it complimented the dish beautifully. -
Fast and easy. I didn't cut my cucumber small enough so ran it through the food processor for a couple of pulses. Also added some salt and pepper.
