Tzatziki Creamy Garlic Cucumber Dip - Trade Joe's Style


OMG!!! I just had some Trader Joe's Tzatziki at their food sampling bar which we all know and love. We brought some home, and it didn't last very long.
I searched the Internet for a similar recipe as the ingredients on the tub and this is as close as I could find.
I used the Trader Joes ingredients, and just the measurements from the other recipe.

1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup TJ's Lite Sour Cream
Zest of 1 TJ lemon
Juice from 1 lemon (about 3 Tbs)
1 Cucumber thinly sliced with a veggie-matic type veggie slicer set to very thin.
1 Tsp TJ's garlic (comes in a jar all pureed. A must in my kitchen)
3 Tbs fresh dill
1 tsp dried mint

salt and white pepper to taste.

Mix it all together and serve with Trader Joes's Sesame Seed Pita bread.

Yum ; )

Okay, okay, it's almost as good as Trader Joes, but not quite. Please comment on any additions to make it better.

Okay, so I got a taste test yesterday, and the taster says it tastes better than TJ's.

But how can that be?
It's because I used this Mountain High Original Vanilla Yoghurt.

The vanilla adds a sweetness to it that melts in your mouth.

If you can't get Mountain High Original Style Yoghurt where you live, try a full bodied natural yoghurt and add a touch of honey, and a drop of vanilla.

See what you think.
