If you are counting calories, fat free yogurt and sour cream may be used. I could have sworn I had previously submitted this as it is my "signature dish"! Don't know why it disappeared. Anyway, it is a very easy and tasty sauce that can be used a multitude of ways. Enjoy!


This is excellent...I have made 5thsister's recipe before and it is delicious...I did infact use fat free Greek yogurt and low fat sour cream. The flavors were still all there. Served this on Greek grilled chicken and whole wheat pitas. So glad to see this recipe over here!


Mmmm mmmmm!! How about this with a protein in a pita, and serve it with my Greek Fries?? We'll have a yummy party, 5th! So glad you posted it...next time I'm lookin' for a sauce for pita's, it's gonna be yours!


I thought you posted this before perhaps on another site.
I love the addition of the fete cheese to your wonderful Easy Greek Tzatziki

Yes, Trigger...It is my one and only recipe published on AR (under a slightly different name). This time I allowed for "tweaking". Thanks for the forks!!!


Sounds wonderful!! Been craving this on something. lol


Very yum and sounds good to me and I have not even had breakfast yet. I could eat this any time. I love this kind of combination of ingredients..
just divine, this it. thank you I am printing it out.


This has got to be the best Tzatziki recipe I've tried, simply wonderful! Thank you :-)


WHERE ARE THE GYROS? THIS SAUCE IS GREEEEEEEEEEAT ON THEM! AWESOME RECIPE! THANKS!


Thanks! It is wonderful. I served it with slow cooker souvlaki:)


This is fantastic! Served it tonight, also with my own version of souvlaki and my Greek Fries. This was so good...I was nibbling at it with a spoon. ;) I grated my cucumber and loved the way that worked, so I'll prolly do it like that when I make it, again...and, I certainly will! This makes a lot, too, so looking forward to a pita with all the leftovers, topped with this sauce, tomorrow. :) Thanks so much, sis!


This looks delicious!


I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!! I made this way back, when 5thsister posted it on Allrecipes! This is very good! I also served it with souvlaki and all my guests loved it! Now I can rate it here also! 5 forks!


I tried some of this the other day, as in the commercial version. I liked it very much and so I am keen to try this recipe.
Thanks!


Hope you like it Trev. Although not "traditionally" Greek, it has a wonderful flavor that marries well with pitas, lamb, chicken, and veggies.


I made another huge batch of this for the bbq on the weekend. I reckon it was slapped on just about everything. Damn, .... such richness, this is really nice. Guess what'll be on the table at the next family bbq?!!


So glad it was enjoyed! I always get the occasional comment from purists saying that because I add feta and sour cream it truly isn't a tzatziki but I love the kick the feta gives! Now I need to go make a batch!
