I scaled this down to 2 servings and made it using a regular cucumber as that it what I had on hand. I peeled it and removed the seeds, then finely grated it. I used dill instead of mint and this turned out great. We enjoyed the tzatziki with gluten free pita chips and cucumbers, it made for a wonderful light lunch on a hot and humid day.

Great homemade tzatziki! This version was really easy and quick to prepare. The flavor was perfection. Loved it! I halved the recipe and still had enough to use on several recipes throughout the week. Thanks!

Tasty Tzatziki that went oh-so-well with falafel filled pita pockets. Added both dill and a bit of mint making it refreshing. Because I had some lemons staring at me from a different recipe, thought I'd save those skins and added some of that lemon zest. Came out yum! Thank you, Sue, for sharing. Made it for The AmaZ'ing Race 2023 - Dubai, UAE tag game.
