This is the 1st time l’ve heard of this in my entire life. There’s no such thing as a heaping 1/2 tsp. If you did a heaping 1/2 tsp., then it would get to the point of 3/4 tsp. or even or 2/3rd’s tsp. Again for decades we’ve only indicated 1/2, 2/3rd’s or 3/4’s tsp. l embrace a lot of new thoughts But l can’t wrap my mind around a heaping 1/2 tsp.🤔
Hi. Thank you for the recipe. How long does it keep in the fridge?
It says 3 days ish.
So what is the red sprinkle on top with the olive oil? Finishes it so beautifully.
Could you please put the serving size with your nutrition information. Have to follow a strict diet and need to know how much I can eat. Without a serving size I can’t use these recipes and some of them look really good!
Love this recipe, the meatballs are delicious, who knew feta in meatballs would be so delicious! Sometimes I make couscous with it as well. Husband and teenage daughter both love this! Big fan of all of the recipes on hungry happens, thank you!
Can you use 2%? It’s hard to find a smaller container of 5%. If it must be 5% then I’ll just buy the bigger container. Thanks for your guidance in advance!
Just made this as a dip for the parmesan carrot sticks, and it’s delicious. I didn’t have dried mint so I cut open a peppermint tea bag and used that which seemed to work. I also added dill, which worked well.
I also used 0% greek yogurt instead of 5% since I only had the former, and it worked well.
This is a tasty & easy dip to make for veggies, pita, or even grilled meat.
What is pictured with the dip? It looks delicious!
Hi Sarah, my parmesan beet sticks. I havent uploaded them on my site yet.
I could tell these would taste good but they completely stuck to the parchment paper. Couldn’t get even one off. Should definitely spray the parchment before putting the cheese down.
Loved this! I love tzatziki but sometimes am not up for all the chopping. love to just have an easier option!
Is there an option to greek yogurt
