I used strained full fat greek yogurt and a deseeded cucumber wrapped in a tea towel after grating to make it less watery. Excellent

Gave the grated cucumber a good squeeze in the tea towel to avoid wetness plus replaced the mint with basil as my wife is not fond of mint. Worked well!

Tried this recipe and ended up with a very liquid tzatziki, milky not creamy - ended up using the whole pot of yogourt (500g) and added another clove of garlic and it was still very runny. I will not do again….

I find you really need to use the thick Greek style yoghurt … and really squeeze the grated cucumber !

I've made this time and time again now and it's a firm favourite. Always goes down a storm at bbqs and Greek nights alike. So easy to make and as above, tastes better than any supermarket tzatziki I've ever tried.

Delicious! Tastes better than what you can buy pre-made in the supermarket.
