This is our GO-TO dip for all our veggies and proteins. Yes we also love to make my traditional Greek Tzatziki recipe too but when I might be out of cucumbers or just need a quick fix, I always turn to this simple recipe!

    I love Dill would it ruin the recipe if I add some dill?

      • Stella

    • Pen

    hi did you use lemon juice or vinegar with the carrots I saw on IG? thx

      • Stella

      I used lemon in this recipe – whatever’s shown in the video above is what I made for the carrots!

    What if I don’t have mint? Will it still turn out?

      • Stella

      Hi and yes, will still be good!

    As suggested, I made this to go along with your Lemon Pepper Chicken Souvlakia. It turned out great and people were not only using it with the souvlakia, but with anything else they could use to dip into it. I used 2% yogurt so it didn’t need the milk to thin it. I used red wine vinegar instead of lemon and fresh dill instead of mint. Will share and make again! Thank you!

    How can you call this tzatziki sauce when it doesn’t have cucumber?

    • Nick

    What kind of dried mint are you using here and where can I find it? The only place I can find dried mint is at my local co-op. The two choices are spearmint and peppermint. Neither of those seem right to me.

      • Stella

      Hi Nick,
      spearmint is what i use!
