Home cooking attempt — Tzatziki from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Tzatziki from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting lemon juice right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The rich with olive oil result was rewarding once I got it right.

the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eating. I served it with retsina as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Tzatziki yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
