Extras:<\/h2>\n

– \u03bc\u03b9\u03c3\u03cc \u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03c3\u03ac\u03ba\u03b9 \u03ac\u03bd\u03b9\u03b8\u03bf \u03ba\u03bf\u03bc\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf \u03c3\u03b5 \u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03ac \u03ba\u03bf\u03bc\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03ba\u03b9\u03b1 (half a bunch of dill finely chopped)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Notes on the ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

– It is very important to use strained yogurt (plain or low fat) that gives tzatziki a nice, thick and \u201cvelvety\u201d texture.<\/p>\n

– You can add or remove clove, depending on how strong you want the taste to be.<\/p>\n

– Apple vinegar can be used instead of vinegar.<\/p>\n

– Dill is an extra but it matches perfectly the combination of yogurt, garlic and cucumber. Personally, I never make tzatziki with no dill.<\/p>\n

– Hot paprika is not a must but it adds a spicy taste.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

– \u0394\u03bf\u03ba\u03b9\u03bc\u03ac\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03b8\u03ad\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5 \u03b1\u03bb\u03ac\u03c4\u03b9 \u03ae \u03be\u03cd\u03b4\u03b9, \u03b1\u03bd \u03c7\u03c1\u03b5\u03b9\u03ac\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9. Taste to add salt or vinegar, if needed.<\/p>\n

– \u0392\u03ac\u03bb\u03c4\u03b5 \u03c4\u03bf \u03c4\u03b6\u03b1\u03c4\u03b6\u03af\u03ba\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf \u03c8\u03c5\u03b3\u03b5\u03af\u03bf. Put the tzatziki in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

Let it cool for a couple of hours and serve it cold. You can use it as a dip for pita bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks, fried potatoes or anything else you like! If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them. \u039a\u03b1\u03bb\u03ae \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03c4\u03c5\u03c7\u03af\u03b1! Good luck!<\/p>\n
