Tzatziki

Ravenseyes's Note:

This is a tradtional greek appetizer served with warm homemade pita bread or as a side to sandwiches - its thick and rich and tastes the best when you use the greek yogurt

This was really good! I did cut back on the garlic a bit and added salt. Thanks for sharing!

Oh,this was good! I really enjoyed the cumin in it. I used a full fat homemade yogurt,which I drained a little.Thanks for sharing.

Almost 4 1/2 stars. Really good flavour, better than the store bought taste but not near as thick. I used a bit less garlic than called for, Balkan (thick) yogurt and an English cucumber grated. I did not squeeze the juices out which I definitely should have done. I served this alongside Garlic Fries. I may make this again squeezing the liquid out of the cucumber for a thicker outcome.
