Cecile says
I am about to make this, but was wondering if I can freeze it ? In a ziplog bag or a mason jar if I can do it? Thank you
Heidi says
Hi Cecile ~ I honestly haven’t ever tried freezing it. If you do… let me know how it turns out!
Jayme says
This was super simple and so delicious. My son (not a huge fan of Mediterranean food) enjoyed it!!! That’s saying something. I am storing mine in a mason jar, hopeful that it keeps a little longer than usual. Thank you for the great recipe.
Heidi says
Thanks so much for the sweet comment, Jayme! So glad to hear everyone loved it! My sons love it, too. 😉
Emily says
I made the tzatziki sauce today for chicken gyros and it was amazing. Sweating the moisture out of the cucumber is key. It was so delish. This will be a go to suace for me from here on out. Thank you so much!
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Emily… so glad you loved it! 🙂
Caroline says
How long does this keep in the fridge?
Heidi says
Hi Caroline, I have had success keeping it in the fridge for several days. I do recommend stirring it before each use, as it will want to separate over time. Hope this helps ~ Heidi
