Tzatziki image

This is something I made with my Mom growing up. Truly a wonderful Greek accompaniment to many meals, especially meats, or as a dip for veggies and pita bread. Strained yogurt may be found at Greek groceries and specialty shops, or use the method listed in the steps. Adjust the amount of garlic to taste. Opa!

This tzatziki was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this tzatziki to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more garlic and lemon juice.
