    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

    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.

    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!

      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
