Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

This deserves at least 4 stars. But it's so darn salty. Can you omit the tablespoon used on the cucumbers or the half tsp mixed in at the end?
I cut the recipe in half, reduced the amount of salt on the cucumber, and didn't peel it (I like the skin, it has more nutrients, and it adds nice color!). I had previously made a tzatziki sauce from a recipe I found on another website, and my husband thinks this one is 100 times better! Thank you!
If you are choosing non fat yoghurt please be aware that unless it is 2% fat or greater you are not absorbing the calcium.
Sounds delicious - but way too high in sodium for me! And cutting out the salt would ruin it.
This is almost as authentic as it gets. Having lived in Athens for 4 years I miss the good stuff and make it myself at least every spring. The only difference I see is in Greece they didn't have non-fat yogurt. Most American "Greek" restaurants- use sour cream and it just isn't the same. So good.
Excellent! I think I'll use a little less salt when salting the cucumbers next time. I also used my cuisinart instead of grating the cukes. I also didn't add dill or mint.
I got hooked on tzatziki while living in greece. This is very close to the original, sans the fat. I add some chopped onions and use it as a substitute for mayo in chicken salad. Soooo good.
I had to leave the salt out as I am on a sodium restricted diet, but even without the salt, it's very good. Even my tzatziki-hating 11-year old liked it. He asked for a pita and ate this straight out of the bowl. Good job! :)
