    Steps

    1
    Done

    Just Mix Everything Up Together Until It Is All Blended and the Oil Has Emulsified Into the Yoghurt/Sour Cream. Taste For Seasoning, and Add Salt If You Think Necessary. Put in a Resealable Container.

    2
    Done

    Allow to 'sit' in the Refrigerator For at Least 2-3 Hours Before Using to Allow the Flavors to Come Out.

    3
    Done

    This Wonderful Meze (we Do not Think of It as a Sauce Here- It Is a Thick 'salata') Is Used to Counterpoint Rich, Bbq'd Meats (like Souvlaki/Shish Kebab), but Can Be Used in More Diverse Ways.

    4
    Done

    Place a Small Plate Full on Your Dinner Table For People to Scoop Up Small Amounts Onto Their Bread (preferably Crisp-Baked Pita).

    5
    Done

    Fry Up Some Zucchini or Eggplant Slices (dredge in Flour and Fried in Olive Oil) and Serve With a Dollop of Tzatziki on Top.

    6
    Done

    Use as a Salad Dressing.

    7
    Done

    a Dip For Crudites.

    8
    Done

    Note: If I Have Time, I Often Lightly Salt the Grated Cucumber and Put in a Colander to Drain, Then Squeeze Out Water as Per Usual. This Eliminates Even More Water.
