Notes

I tweaked the recipe a bit from what you will see in the video, so watch the video for the visual, but be sure to read the written recipe for exact measurements. Place any leftover tzatziki in an airtight container for freshness and it will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days. After the dip has been in the refrigerator for a bit, it may accumulate liquid on top. Simply stir it right back in before serving.
