    I see a lot of people have tried this with PD yogurt. I’m thinking I want to do the same. How much yogurt would you recommend Julie?

      I find it too runny with yogurt and the taste and texture with tofu is amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing.

    I used suggestions above & everyone’s right – this is not only good on this sandwich but also good as a dip or salad dressing! Mmm Mmm Good!!

    Veganinblack, I’ve made it with PD yogurt and it turned out very well. In think the “traditional” recipe does use yogurt. Give it a try!

    Love this sauce, I don’t think i ever had the traditional version but its so its good on the gyro and i think i ate the leftover on a salad as dressing. Julie do you think this will work with just yogurt? or half yogurt and 1/2 a block of tofu? Very excited to use the yogurt raw in recipes. I adore the cheeze but like the idea of a probiotic every so often in my PD world. Where has the yogurt been in my life, love it.

    I agree with Penny, this sauce is better than the SAD version…and it is super good as a topping for your sandwich, salad, baked potato, or as a dip for pita and veggies. I recommend using fresh dill if at all possible as I think it makes a huge difference in flavor, and I used about 5T of lemon rather than the 1/4 c called for in the recipe.

    After I made this I realized I made it before. Don’t know why I never made it again because once I tasted it I remembered how good it was the first time.
    So simple to throw together and tastes better than the SAD version, I could eat it by the spoonfuls, with veggies or whole wheat crackers but it is DELICIOUS with the Bloomin Blossom Premium Recipe!! 🙂

    I’ve never had the original SAD version of tzatziki sauce, so I don’t have anything to compare this to, but I sure love this! It’s excellent with carrot and celery sticks! I’m sure I’ll find other good uses for it as well.

    I did not want to eat PD tonight. I wanted my old food, high fat sauces and dips and plenty of chips.. Sooo, I got the tofu and made the tzatziki sauce. It is so good! I can snack on this with these carrots and celery all night. Might even try it with crisp apples (lots of garlic!). Thanks, Julie Marie!

I weighed around 300 lbs for over 30 yrs. In that time, I tried every diet, from Adkins to Weight Watchers, with little success. 12 yrs ago I went vegan thinking that would be my answer. Sadly, I was still obese, tired, sick and depressed. In ‘13 I received bad results from my blood test.… Read more or comment “Sheree B.”

Plant-Based Nutritional Intervention Results

When I started practicing a Protective Diet I quit the gym due to lack of time. The weight fell off and I could eat all the starches I adored. Sometimes I pinch myself to see if this is a dream. I’m not in the gym, I’m not counting calories and I eat until I’m full… Read more or comment “Plant-Based Nutritional Intervention Results”

All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me

Today is my 2nd PD-versary — I think. I didn’t pay much attention to the actual day because I didn’t really believe I’d ever need to reference it! I know I would not have started on my birthday, so I am going with the day after. I lost 30 pounds the first year, and maybe… Read more or comment “All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me”
