What is Tzatziki?
Tzatziki is a dip/sauce that’s found in the cuisines of Southeast Europe and the Middle East. It is traditionally made of yogurt mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, sometimes with vinegar or lemon juice, and herbs such as dill, mint, parsley, and thyme. It’s often served with roasted vegetables or gyros.
Easy Vegan Tzatziki No Tofu or Cashews
This vegan Tzatziki takes minutes to prepare and it contains only 6 ingredients!
Ingredients needed:
Cucumber
Plain, non-dairy yogurt (I used Oatly Plain Oatgurt)
Lemon
Garlic
Fresh Dill
Salt and pepper
Grate cucumber over a bowl. Don’t remove the skin.
There should be roughly 1 cup of cucumber after grating.
Place the grated cucumber in a fine-mesh strainer and press the water out. Transfer the cucumber to paper towels and squeeze out the remaining water. You want to try to remove as much of the water as possible so your Tzatziki won’t be runny.
Stir the grated cucumber and non-dairy yogurt together. Add minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and season with salt and pepper. Optional- garnish with diced cucumber.
Serve and enjoy!
