Traditional tzatziki uses the tiny continental cucumbers that are very dense, have few seeds and aren't watery. English cucumber just doesn't work - even if you scrape out the seeds it's still too watery. The radish makes a great substitute and I like the little streaks of pink against the white yoghurt and green mint!The Lone Gourmethttp://thelonegourmet.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877601208085394794.post-19286931464557668802012-06-05T10:58:34.571+01:002012-06-05T10:58:34.571+01:00Simple but clever.
