Greek Tzatziki Sauce (Greek yogurt & Cucumber Dip)

[@franzgrabe1]

i am addicted to tzatziki.....have been my whole life. I have to admit.......I have NEVER had better tzatziki than your recipe. the best EVER!!!!! thank you!!

[@DimitrasDishes]

Yay!! i'm so happy you liked it :)

[@SuzanneBaruch]

This is HANDS DOWN the best Tzatziki Sauce recipe I've tried! The sour cream really does make this special. Thanks, Dimitra!

[@DimitrasDishes]

So happy you liked it :)

[@jaytracks]

I concur I made this and I can't get enough

[@pattisiderakis]

@@DimitrasDishes can you freeze this?

[@humanresetproject]

@@pattisiderakis definitely not, it changes the structure of the ingredients especially cucumbers making it soggy

[@pparisihanuman]

OH MY GOSH....This is the BEST Tzatziki I have ever had......this recipe is a KEEPER. Thank you

[@anacorona2527]

Awesome recipe! I looove tzatziki. I’ve seen some people add a little splash of red wine vinegar, and it makes it pop.

[@michaelirvin4555]

A dad here that rarely cooks. This paired up with her Gyro recipe is a huge hit in our house. Unfortunately people think I can cook now.

[@Kayvon16]

I added juice from half a lemon to your recipe and I thought it took it to another level! You should try it! Let me know what you think! 😁 👍🏻

[@Poraqui]

With lemon juice Rocks!

[@marcrapaccuiolo2406]

I always add the juice and zest of 1 lemon I was surprised when she left that out

[@costaavradopoulos786]

I am Greek and what most people don't realize is there is no ONE way to make this - there are literally over 100 variations! For example, my family makes it completely different, with no sour cream and no dill. Some restaurants in Greece use lemon and/or also red wine vinegar.

[@sharonhatfield3812]

I'm am so excited to make the salmon dish & the gyros sandwich! You are so exciting to watch when you cook & explain everything so well♥️♥️♥️

[@marykroeker4230]

I just love, love all your alllll your recipes.

[@paulaoyedele2081]

Dimitra you are my go-to for all Greek foods. Your recipes never disappoint. P.s. I have been using sour cream in my Tzatziki for 25 years love it.

[@Ghosty2004]

Your recipe is great, you made it exactly as it should be! Comes from a Greek guy :P

[@marthaguerrero6498]

I’ve made your recipe several times. This is my favorite recipe, thank you for sharing it with us!

[@sarabadara]

Dimitra, I just re-watched to write down this recipe after I made it the first time since it's my favorite Tzatziki I've ever tried, and I noticed that you used a cutting board on another cutting board when mincing the garlic, and well... that's how I know I'm in the right place!!! :P I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge, I have learned TONS about cooking and baking from you ever since I watched one about Turkey for Thanksgiving last year when I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family. What has been most influential for me is how easy going you appear and how relaxed you are when making things. The love and passion you have for what you do so clearly shines through. I did not grow up cooking except on special occasions, and have always associated lots of stress with preparing meals as did my mother and her mother - it has been a dreaded task at times. You have helped me to learn how to play, not be afraid of making mistakes, and think of cooking and baking as more of an art than as a task. Thank you very much for your inspiration! KZbin is a wonderful tool and I am so glad to have found your channel. Love Sara

[@DimitrasDishes]

Hi Sara!! Aww, your comment warmed my heart :) Thank you so much for sharing your story with me and for your support. I'm so glad that you found my channel and a love for cooking and hope that your new skills help you create beautiful, long lasting memories with the ones that you love!! That's my whole reason for being here sharing my passion. I also have a website where you can print all of my recipes. Some of the videos (actually most of them, haha!) do not mention exact amounts but, it's all on my website :) Thanks again, Dimitra

[@johnbalogna803]

Looks really good I like to add a some mint and a splash of red wine vinegar to my Tzatziki sauce when I make it. Just picked up 4 nice legs of lamb Two will be Easter dinner. And 2 will be boned out and ground up to make Gyro's . We Love some lamb in our house.

[@MerriToon]

Taste just like my mom use to make 🇬🇷🇬🇷❤️ thank you

[@jenniferc3653]

I made this over the weekend & it turned out fabulous! So good, thank you for the recipe!

[@DimitrasDishes]

You're welcome! It's one of my faves for sure! So glad you enjoyed it.

[@suecastillo4056]

Love your food!!! You are so fun to learn from! Thank you so much!!!♥️🙋‍♀️😘❣️🤗

[@cindysandberg8403]

I agree !!

[@MrsBee-uo2lc]

I would love to see a video on how to make lemonize sauce. Not sure if that's how you spell it but it's served in the Greek restaurants around me and I love it! 🤍👍🏻

[@lucybirdsong8632]

4/14/2023, this is the best !!!!!! Thank you again 😀

[@marlene763]

I tried this tzatziki recipe and added it to my chicken Gyro. I must say its Really good! So creamy and the taste is Amazing 👌 Thank you for sharing this recipe with us🙂

[@garystafford2220]

One of the best sauces in the world👍👍👍👍👍

[@lucillecarling5456]

Hi Dimitra 🤗 Love your recipes... Finding your program made me feel good... I miss the job I worked at...cashier at the"South Street Diner" & "One Flight Up". The owners were Greek. ❤️🦋

[@marciaricksgers2018]

I put a ton of dill in mine, plus a good squeeze of lemon juice. I eat it with my Keto flatbread, which is soft like a pita. Yummy.!

[@syedanwery1778]

I am so excited to make this today. We have Ramadan going on and these yummy stuff adds up lot of starving stomachs a sense of thanks and Duaa (pray) 🙏🏻

[@karpetech]

Best Tzatziki I have seen. Thanks for the video

[@curiousfever85]

I've been trying for a long while now to make my own tzatziki and have never been satisfied until I tried it your way thank very much

[@DimitrasDishes]

My pleasure 😊

[@mimimcgee5512]

You are my new fav chef to watch! Your recipes are to die for! Thank you! And I def agree about most places being stingy with the cucumber. Where is your restaurant? I bet it’s amazing!

[@keatonescoto7989]

The whole family really enjoyed this recipe thank you for sharing

[@pisicacutecat4869]

I made this today and it is very good. Even my husband said that he liked it. I will be making your gyro recipe tomorrow. 😊

[@DimitrasDishes]

Enjoy! If you're on facebook or Instagram, share pics with me :)

[@tonyrunyon375]

It's really good . I made this for a first date kind of thing and it literally melted this girl's heart ! Thanks your the best .

[@DimitrasDishes]

Perfect!!!

[@dougielw]

So, I've always strained my greek yogurt overnight. How is yours not runny? I also squeeze my cucumber in a towel, I'm glad to see there's an easier way! Thanks for the recipe, I can't wait to try it!

[@ann.obrien5139]

This dip is outrageously delicious, I just can’t stop eating it from the bowl with a spoon .

[@saiful46]

Finally made some today w/ a pinch Aleppo pepper...this stuff is soooooooo good!!!!

[@DimitrasDishes]

Glad you like it! That pepper sounds yummy!

[@kittykay6480]

Girl I love your vibe and this came out sooo good!! My daughter was watching me make it (she hates greek yogurt) and was giving me the eye, she tasted a sample and loved it too! The sour cream really does I think make all the difference too. Also, thank you for showing me a way to strain the water out the cucumber. Other people were saying a tea towel and I don't have that. Your method worked perfect. I will so be making this again. Easy and delicious. Thank you!!

[@DimitrasDishes]

I'm so glad you liked it. And it's always the best when the kids approve :)

[@helenvictoria8880]

Yasou Koukla, I’m learning so much from you...loving all the tips & tricks too, thank you so much for sharing 💖💖

[@DimitrasDishes]

Thanks so much 😊

[@dianahepburn3714]

Thank you so much for your recipe. I haven’t found any good tasting Tzatziki in any store. Definitely will try to make this

[@sisenor4091]

The best one so far. I added mint with the dill. Fantastic.

[@PeteCorp]

Finally, properly made tzatziki. Well done.

[@The411]

Made this today for one of our new year party sides. Excellent recipe! Best I've tasted so far.

[@christinewhicher6643]

I made this with your gyros meat recipe and my family loved it! So did I, thank you!

[@neilchick8215]

Dimitra, thank you so much. You are Fabulous. I use all Your recipes. Delish!!!!!! You are the best!!!!

[@Juju-lq5he]

Thank You! Made this for homemade gyros and oh my gosh they were delicious. 😋

[@jaureguialex]

Probably the best recipe I’ve seen 👏👏👏

[@Larxtine]

I just finished making this, love it. The sour cream really adds an extra level to it!

[@mumo9413]

Tip, roast a whole garlic or 10😅 ( while using the oven for something else, saves time & energy) Then, put in tub in the fridge. When you need garlic you can just squeeze it out of the clove & its smooth & smokey. No chopping & garlic hands. Also, you can use mint instead of dill! Enjoy!

[@marshasmith4300]

Absolutely delicious!!

[@kwerdos]

Amazing.... The best!

[@AnandHalbhavi]

I add cream cheese instead of sour cream, turns out great too!

[@erikareeves6994]

That looks so good. I want to make gyros for my husband. I will let you know how it goes. Thank you!

[@DianeHasHopeInChrist]

Can I recommend a Mortar/Pestle set? A stone one is awesome, especially for garlic, ginger, onion, etc.

[@nilnil7325]

You can also use a box grater to grate the garlic on the smallest cutter. The second-smallest cutter works well also.

[@shalunagi9092]

Nice recipe

[@katualfaro5811]

I was so excited to make this Greek yogurt at home! It tasted exactly like in the restaurant. Maybe even better. I just throw it on a pita and that’s simple and delicious. I’m Mexican so I make a lot of guacamole all the time for my family, but I love to be able to recreate food from other parts of the world. I’ve made a lot of Persian dishes, Lebanese dishes and now I’m getting into Greek dishes. I’ll be watching your channel and learning from you! ❤️

[@sophiewallace8662]

Looks great. Don't have the special olive oil, but I'll try it. Thanks!

[@nickmavrick8562]

This is so good. I also made the gyro recipe, but my food processor broke before I had the texture right. This sauce saves it, though.

[@daddio159]

I add white wine vinegar and it’s amazing.

[@szabel9372]

Haven't made this yet, but can tell it's gonna be a WINNER! I'm gonna make this with your gyro meat recipe. Can't wait!! 😋

[@PaulSmith-jz2ys]

Everything you did looked so perfect. Congratulations.

[@308sir]

[@joanargilan9381]

No lemon juice? Also have seen others add some type of white vinegar

[@ireneray2558]

In greek restaurants they never use dill. But still so good. I always scrape out the Tzaziki jar in a restaurant. Made it home but never as good as in restaurants. They prob use magical ingrediënts lol. Will make yours soon 🙂😊

[@cavreaver]

Looks delicious

[@DimitrasDishes]

It is! I can eat it by the spoonful :)

[@nicolemclaughlin9858]

Yes, absolutely! Mint and yogurt are so good together. Enjoy!

[@Rissasmukbang]

Hi 👋🏾 here Watching

[@georgebetar923]

Great reciope, ty.

[@tortelvis1]

Hi! Some people swear by adding white wine vinegar and lemon. Just curious about your thoughts on that. Thank you.

[@GoGoGonzo77]

Flavor is great and if you follow her gyro meat recipe it is out of this world! Thank you!

[@solomommavlog]

Any thing to use if there is no sour cream?
