I love tzatziki, especially with falafel! I agree that this doesn't look like a very thick sauce. I like mine thick and chunky so I would probably skip the blender and mash my garlic to a paste and stir it all together.

I would never do Olive oil in my Tzatziki sauce and I just stirr it with a spoon. To get the sauce a little thicker you just combine two tablespoon light sour cream with the Greek jogurt. I don't like junks in my Tzatziki so I also great the Cucumber and I let it drain for an hour or more. I think my Tzatziki has less calories. If you don' t have to watch out for calories you can also use the regular sour cream.

Yes it is delicious but not thick as it is mentioned in this video. By dicing the cucumber and adding salt you still get a watery tzatziki sauce. If you prefer a THICK sauce/dip you must grate and then squeeze in handfuls. Another thing is that the blender/food processor also makes the sauce watery, a whisk is preferable.
