Tzatziki (Yoghurt, Cucumber, Garlic and Mint Dip)

Nice, but not very impressive. Would have been a 3.5 if we had the chance to give half ratings. The main problem was that it tasted too much of yoghurt with a bit of cucumber and garlic, instead of a cucumber and garlic sauce based on yoghurt - the emphasis was in the wrong place.

DH, who made the tzatziki, felt that it was a bit too dry. It's ironic, as he didn't have the time to let the cucumber dry; instead, he just removed the pits as being most moist part. Instead of the usual Greek yoghurt, we used Turkish yoghurt from our local vegetable store, which seemed to be thicker, though both contain the same amount of fat, 10%. Of course these might be the reasons for the sauce being too dry, though I wouldn't expect it to make such a difference.

Served with Harissa Chicken and Sweet Potato.
