Directions
Cacik, This is posted for ZWT3 This is a recipe from Steven Raichlen This is part dip and part salad served on hors d’oeuvre platters in Turkey This is also known as tzatziki sauce in Greece , I really liked this Followed the hint of another reviewer and didn’t drain it so it was runnier It worked great in the dish I put it over Made for ZWT6 by a Looney Spooner , How yummy! I have enjoyed cucumber sauces when dining out in the past, and I can’t believe it has taken me this long to try making one myself! This is very easy to put together; despite the time for the cucumber to drain it is very quick as well I will say I thought the salt was a bit strong, and I actually added a bit more cucumber to try and balance that out Worked like a charm! Also, you might want to add the mint or dill a bit at a time (I chose dill) as it is definitely powerful in the quantity listed Thanks for posting! Made for Mischief Makers, ZWT 6
