Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cucumber grated
- 1 cup Vegan Yogurt unsweetened
- 1-2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 large Garlic Cloves grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt see note
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Instructions
- Use a box grater to grate the cucumber, then place it in a nut milk bag and squeeze it to eliminate any excess water. Add to a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the yogurt, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, grated garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Taste and add additional chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, or salt.
- Serve immediately with pita chips and fresh veggies or chill in refrigerator for later.
Notes
Avoid a watery tzatziki by making sure to remove excess liquid from the cucumber. You can do this by squeezing the grated cucumber using a nut milk bag, paper towel, or dish towel.
Grate the garlic. I would recommend using a grater, zester, or garlic press— this will help the garlic melt into the sauce without leaving big raw chunks which are sometimes too potent and overpowering.
Choose a good yogurt! Make sure you choose a vegan yogurt that you actually like the taste of.
Important Note about Salt: Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
