*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.
Storage
- 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.
