Do not discard cucumber juice,just make ice cubes and use it for your face.

[@Emppu_T.]

or put them in sparkling water w lemon juice

[@Corekilla26]

I just drank it. Shit was good lmao

[@sunrae7680]

​@@Corekilla26 Yes. That's what I was thinking. 😊

[@tirthalily]

I had the same thought!

[@mariaschumacher3155]

Waw...guter Tipp vielen Dank

[@DarthLordRaven]

replace the lemon juice with a tablespoon of white wine vinegar, it's one of the secrets of freshness. the cucumber it's more easy if you remove the seeds there is less liquid, just a tip.

[@moniqueuu8777]

But the liqid is good with a glass of water.

[@felicezenzero8441]

Certo anche io uso aceto

[@user-oz4ts5mv5h]

No don't throw away the cucumber liquid! Use it for a refreshing drink 😊

drink on the spot!

Thank you so much for this recipe! Just tried it out tonight and it was delicious 🌟

Looks great. Just searched for healthy dip & here it is. Can’t wait!

[@e.obrien8421]

I truly truly love the simplicity of your recipes, I almost can do it

[@Athena-foodie]

As a Greek that loves Tzatziki, that looks amazing 🤩. I recommend adding a couple cracks of pepper in there too!

[@sreeladevi1780]

With strong garlic in it, no pepper is needed.

[@Erika-pq7ip]

​@@sreeladevi1780 pepper goes well yall shouldn't be scared of spices 😂

We have something close to it in turkey, we eat it like a salad. It's pretty nice

Egal was du machst, alles schmeckt wunderbar, vielen lieben Dank ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Sangfroid2]

OMGoodness! One of my favs! I put this on most things even fruit!

[@plantmade5444]

This Tzatziki Sauce recipe is a bang on for vegetarians and vegans alike! The creamy texture and refreshing flavor are spot on. The use of dairy-free yogurt is a fantastic alternative without sacrificing that authentic tzatziki taste.

[@usaneebeilles9510]

Great short clip. Clearly info.& looked v appetising. Thanks.

[@behnaznakhjiri9176]

It reminds me of something similar I ate in Iran, they mix yogurt with cucumbers and eat it mostly in summer

[@blackmamba5380]

Im Greek also..and i agree with pepper thing..

[@Mary-sh2bp]

My Greek friend said that her grandma uses vinegar instead of lemon. I use both. 😂

[@vassilopoula]

As a Greek I confirm this

[@DarthLordRaven]

yes white wine vinegar and some pepper. it's so simple i don't understand a discussion here. if you go to a supermarket they add things they got to get hanged for!

[@jackieanderson74]

I absolutely love these recipes. They’re so dang good I’m gonna try this. Thanks.

[@linabellou2358]

Greek mom here! Add some vinegar too

[@IdontKnow-oo2dp]

Oh hell no that would ruin the yogurt flavor. Tzatziki is supposed to have a tang coming from ingredients in the fresh side. If anything it’s supposed to be lemon juice.

[@alexa3322]

Of course white wine vinegar!!!!! Equal parts with best extra virgin olive oil you can find!

[@IdontKnow-oo2dp]

@@alexa3322 uhh HELL NO that’s nasty. No one ever puts vinegar into tatziki. If you do you’ll have a disgusting tatziki. It’s supposed to have fresh elements not the overpowering acidity of vinegar. THERES YOGURT ALREADY. It would be way too unbalanced. You need a fresh element of tang from lemon or even no lemon since the yogurt has enough. Also like what I said before the milk will seperate if vinegar is used. That’s absolute nonsense.

[@josiedudouit1933]

He already has the fresh lemon juice and greek yogurt is acidic enough so vinegar is unnecessary and would be overpowering🤷‍♀️

[@TheofilosMouratidis]

​@@IdontKnow-oo2dp It would ruin nothing, the original recipe doesn't use lemon but white wine vinegar in same dosage as olive oil, and it gives it's characteristic fresh and soft sour flavour. Lemon juice makes tzatziki have quite a flat flavour.

[@Dovahkiin23]

Made this, DELICIOUS!!! Thank You for sharing your recipe video.

[@katakyriakopoulou5042]

That's now exactly how we make it in Greece yet it's a good recipe

[@sreeladevi1780]

I'd use it on sandwich, toasts, as pasta salads, tuna tin fish + onions, on thin kati rolls, toppings for savoury cakes, crackers, chips, carrot celery sticks dip. ✌🌿💚❣️🐷

[@berolinastrassmann]

Repurpose the cucumber juice: add ice, lemon or lime juice, a slice of ginger (agave syrup or sugar optional) and sparkling water for a refreshing summer drink.

[@nikip9161]

One of my favorites... It's a perfect snack with a crunchy piece of bread 🥖🫓, i love it. ❤

[@olgaolga3696]

Instead of lemon put vinegar. This is the original greek recipe.it'fantastic.

[@elonmusknkaypkardesi992]

not original

[@elonmusknkaypkardesi992]

This is actually a Turkish appetizer, but the Greeks think it is their own food.

[@myrzel5312]

​@@elonmusknkaypkardesi992This is fake tzatziki recipe, that's why you think it is Turkish. So, no problem, we send it to you as a gift, and we keep our authentic tzatziki. 😉

[@stacyjobe6697]

This looks so delicious....I keep the juice in mine though as it gives it a more cucumber flavor.

I saw many vegetarian, recipes on your website I'd like to try. Tzakini is a new to me. and its looks so easy. Not a fan of mint, I cant just leave it out. So have to think of a fantastic substitute.🙋

[@Athena-foodie]

As a Greek, you can just leave it out! I have honestly not seen many recipes that do have mint!😁

[@ilax4244]

@@Athena-foodie If I leave out the mint, my brain will get stuck in a time warp and can't move ahead.🙆

[@purvikoul5007]

We in India have been eating it since centuries and we call it kheera raita

[@scienceislove2014]

Stop it.. you sound so stupid.. and they've been eating this for centuries too.. Plus raita is quite different..it has a different flavour profile.. just look at the ingredients..

[@scienceislove2014]

Stop it.. you sound so stupid.. and they've been eating this for centuries too.. Plus, kheera raita has a different profile becuz it doesn't use olive oil kr dill .. Kheera raita usually has cumin powder and black salt it.. if it doesn't have black salt , it ain't no raita..

We don't care we aren't from India. That sauce is middle Eastern not Indian

Waiting for this comment

[@starballmappings]

It is Turkish. The yoghurt is also Turkish. The word yoghurt originally "yoğurt" comes from the verb "yoğurmak" (to knead), also you can't try faking the fact cacık is Turkish by adding -i there.

[@carlosarmendariz2654]

It's gotta be full of protein right

[@ChloeLayneXO]

Instead of grated garlic is it ok to use roasted garlic?

[@Athena-foodie]

As a Greek I would recommend you at least try it with grated garlic first, but don't be afraid to try it with roasted garlic! I haven't seen it personally, but cooking is meant to be something enjoyable! As long as you don't call it 'traditional' or 'authentic', you are free to experiment 😋

[@jasminwall9115]

I don't mind it with the cucumber liquid in it. It just thins it a bit. 😋

[@akhtarbegum1219]

[@moushimoushi.]

This is kheera raita...period!

[@TheofilosMouratidis]

I have tried raita, but raita uses plain yogurt so it is more watery and has lots of herbs, if you try original tzatziki (not that in the video) you will notice the difference.
