i am addicted to tzatziki.....have been my whole life. I have to admit.......I have NEVER had better tzatziki than your recipe. the best EVER!!!!! thank you!!
Thank you Dimitra you are an Angel... I lived in Greece for nearly 3 years, near Glifada. I wrote so many recipes down, in my recipes book, only to loose all of them, moving to America. Please keep teaching us your recipes... we love you ❤
The sauce is amazing!! It's delicious and exactly like my Greek friend made!! She passed away in 99 and this is like a wonderful memory of her ❤ thank you 😊
I was so excited to make this Greek yogurt at home! It tasted exactly like in the restaurant. Maybe even better. I just throw it on a pita and that’s simple and delicious. I’m Mexican so I make a lot of guacamole all the time for my family, but I love to be able to recreate food from other parts of the world. I’ve made a lot of Persian dishes, Lebanese dishes and now I’m getting into Greek dishes. I’ll be watching your channel and learning from you! ❤️
I am so excited to make this today. We have Ramadan going on and these yummy stuff adds up lot of starving stomachs a sense of thanks and Duaa (pray) 🙏🏻
this has been my go to recipe since I found it here. In a pinch when I do not have Greek yogurt....I have used all sour cream and it comes a close second. And the extra bite from the fresh garlic is a must.
I learned so much from this wonderful woman, I am very thankful I have her always helping me make the amazing recipes that my dear mother always made for us when I was a kid! Na eisai panta kala!
I'm making this tomorrow with a low and slow shoulder of lamb and a fetta, red onion, cucumber and tomato salad with vinaigrette dressing and crusty bread rolls. Thanks for the recipe. It's the best i've seen. If I ever want to know how to make something Greek, I'll come and see you!
I have been looking everywhere for a proper recipe and none have tasted right to me. You're looks right so I will definitely be making this very soon. Thank you
Dimitra, I just re-watched to write down this recipe after I made it the first time since it's my favorite Tzatziki I've ever tried, and I noticed that you used a cutting board on another cutting board when mincing the garlic, and well... that's how I know I'm in the right place!!! :P I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge, I have learned TONS about cooking and baking from you ever since I watched one about Turkey for Thanksgiving last year when I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family. What has been most influential for me is how easy going you appear and how relaxed you are when making things. The love and passion you have for what you do so clearly shines through. I did not grow up cooking except on special occasions, and have always associated lots of stress with preparing meals as did my mother and her mother - it has been a dreaded task at times. You have helped me to learn how to play, not be afraid of making mistakes, and think of cooking and baking as more of an art than as a task. Thank you very much for your inspiration! TH-cam is a wonderful tool and I am so glad to have found your channel. Love Sara
Hi Sara!! Aww, your comment warmed my heart :) Thank you so much for sharing your story with me and for your support. I'm so glad that you found my channel and a love for cooking and hope that your new skills help you create beautiful, long lasting memories with the ones that you love!! That's my whole reason for being here sharing my passion. I also have a website where you can print all of my recipes. Some of the videos (actually most of them, haha!) do not mention exact amounts but, it's all on my website :) Thanks again, Dimitra
I am Greek and what most people don't realize is there is no ONE way to make this - there are literally over 100 variations! For example, my family makes it completely different, with no sour cream and no dill. Some restaurants in Greece use lemon and/or also red wine vinegar.
You are my new fav chef to watch! Your recipes are to die for! Thank you! And I def agree about most places being stingy with the cucumber. Where is your restaurant? I bet it’s amazing!
I tried this tzatziki recipe and added it to my chicken Gyro. I must say its Really good! So creamy and the taste is Amazing 👌 Thank you for sharing this recipe with us🙂
I do everything you do, except the sour cream. Instead, I use lemon juice. Omg I LOVE how I could just make my own tzatziki sauce. I can put as much in my homemade gyros as I want!! 😅 Been doing this for over a year now. Goes well with the yogurt chicken I make also from your recipe! :)
I would love to see a video on how to make lemonize sauce. Not sure if that's how you spell it but it's served in the Greek restaurants around me and I love it! 🤍👍🏻
Hi Dimitra 🤗 Love your recipes... Finding your program made me feel good... I miss the job I worked at...cashier at the"South Street Diner" & "One Flight Up". The owners were Greek. ❤️🦋
I'm new to your channel. You are an excellent teacher. And this recipe for tzatziki is wonderful! It was so easy to make and it is delicious. Thank you!
I'm making this today along with your gyro meat recipe. I had to use all beef because I can't get lamb locally but I'm excited to make my own. I love Gyros and live in a small town so I rarely get to eat them.
Looks really good I like to add a some mint and a splash of red wine vinegar to my Tzatziki sauce when I make it. Just picked up 4 nice legs of lamb Two will be Easter dinner. And 2 will be boned out and ground up to make Gyro's . We Love some lamb in our house.
Adding that half cup of sour cream makes all the difference! Makes it creamier and takes a bit of the tartness from the yogurt away. I watch carbs not fat so I used full fat Greek yogurt because I love the texture but I’m sure low fat is ok too.
Tip, roast a whole garlic or 10😅 ( while using the oven for something else, saves time & energy) Then, put in tub in the fridge. When you need garlic you can just squeeze it out of the clove & its smooth & smokey. No chopping & garlic hands. Also, you can use mint instead of dill! Enjoy!
I have an over abundance of zuchini and cucumbers from the garden (good problem) and this channel is giving me all the solutions!!!
i am addicted to tzatziki.....have been my whole life.
I have to admit.......I have NEVER had better tzatziki than your recipe.
the best EVER!!!!!
thank you!!
Yay!! i'm so happy you liked it :)
OH MY GOSH....This is the BEST Tzatziki I have ever had......this recipe is a KEEPER. Thank you
Thank you Dimitra you are an Angel... I lived in Greece for nearly 3 years, near Glifada. I wrote so many recipes down, in my recipes book, only to loose all of them, moving to America. Please keep teaching us your recipes... we love you ❤
4/14/2023, this is the best !!!!!! Thank you again 😀
I’m not Greek but, this is my favorite sauce recipe in the whole world. Thank you for teaching me how to make it.
The sauce is amazing!! It's delicious and exactly like my Greek friend made!! She passed away in 99 and this is like a wonderful memory of her ❤ thank you 😊
This is HANDS DOWN the best Tzatziki Sauce recipe I've tried! The sour cream really does make this special. Thanks, Dimitra!
So happy you liked it :)
I concur I made this and I can't get enough
@@DimitrasDishes can you freeze this?
@@pattisiderakis definitely not, it changes the structure of the ingredients especially cucumbers making it soggy
Taste just like my mom use to make 🇬🇷🇬🇷❤️ thank you
My husband LOVED this recipe! Thank you!
Fantastic, thank you!

Awesome recipe! I looove tzatziki. I’ve seen some people add a little splash of red wine vinegar, and it makes it pop.
I'm making this tomorrow with a low and slow shoulder of lamb and a fetta, red onion, cucumber and tomato salad with vinaigrette dressing and crusty bread rolls. Thanks for the recipe. It's the best i've seen. If I ever want to know how to make something Greek, I'll come and see you!

Finally, properly made tzatziki. Well done.
I added juice from half a lemon to your recipe and I thought it took it to another level! You should try it! Let me know what you think! 😁 👍🏻

With lemon juice Rocks!
I always add the juice and zest of 1 lemon I was surprised when she left that out

Nice and simple recipe looks yummy
I’ve made your recipe several times. This is my favorite recipe, thank you for sharing it with us!
I put a ton of dill in mine, plus a good squeeze of lemon juice. I eat it with my Keto flatbread, which is soft like a pita. Yummy.!
It's really good . I made this for a first date kind of thing and it literally melted this girl's heart ! Thanks your the best .
Perfect!!!
Your recipes are helping me with my food disorder.

Mine too!
I made this dip and I Love It! I also made your Greek 7 layered dip for my daughter in law and my son. They loved it also!
Love all your recipes
Dimitra you are my go-to for all Greek foods. Your recipes never disappoint. P.s. I have been using sour cream in my Tzatziki for 25 years love it.
I made this over the weekend & it turned out fabulous! So good, thank you for the recipe!
You're welcome! It's one of my faves for sure! So glad you enjoyed it.
I add cream cheese instead of sour cream, turns out great too!
Making some gyros tomorrow for my family Christmas spirt using your chicken recipe and tzatziki sauce
Oooo yummy, trying marinated Grk. pork chops, oven-roasted lemon potatoes , tzatziki and nana bread tonight. Also a salad and oven roasted carrots !😋
I add white wine vinegar and it’s amazing.
I've been trying for a long while now to make my own tzatziki and have never been satisfied until I tried it your way thank very much
My pleasure 😊
These videos are fantastic!
Going to use the recipe on a pita gyro sandwich. You did a fine job.
Best Tzatziki I have seen. Thanks for the video
Your recipe is great, you made it exactly as it should be! Comes from a Greek guy :P

Thank you so much!
Nice recipe
Almost ready for gyros delicious creamy dip 😋
I want to try it!
I'm making this today along with your gyro meat recipe. I had to use all beef because I can't get lamb locally but I'm excited to make my own. I love Gyros and live in a small town so I rarely get to eat them.
Hope they turned out delicious!
I ate a gyro for lunch yesterday and today. and had pita and tzaziki for breakfast this morning. Haha. very yummy.
Thank you!!!
Making it right now!!
Just made this...yummmmm💗 thank you😊
Looks really good I like to add a some mint and a splash of red wine vinegar to my Tzatziki sauce when I make it. Just picked up 4 nice legs of lamb Two will be Easter dinner. And 2 will be boned out and ground up to make Gyro's . We Love some lamb in our house.
I love your quick, easy recipes! Thank you!
Adding that half cup of sour cream makes all the difference! Makes it creamier and takes a bit of the tartness from the yogurt away. I watch carbs not fat so I used full fat Greek yogurt because I love the texture but I’m sure low fat is ok too.
This is so good.
I also made the gyro recipe, but my food processor broke before I had the texture right. This sauce saves it, though.
It looks really good how about to make some and see if I like it
Thank you it looks delicious
Very delicious! I didn’t have dinner but it was still delicious
Tip, roast a whole garlic or 10😅 ( while using the oven for something else, saves time & energy) Then, put in tub in the fridge. When you need garlic you can just squeeze it out of the clove & its smooth & smokey. No chopping & garlic hands. Also, you can use mint instead of dill! Enjoy!
