    To be honest i usually make it the quick way too. but a friend of mine kept telling me to try this recipe. I did and it's much thicker and has a more developed taste. Especially if you make the finished product and put it in the fridge again over night.

    Much more involved then the one I make, looks like it will be much better the the one I make too. I will give this one a try the next time I need some Tzatziki.
    Thank you for the post
