Plant-Based Tzatziki

So creamy and flavorful, no one would ever suspect it’s dairy free.

This yogurt sauce is not just for gyros! It’s amazing on almost anything. Or, stir it into your cauliflower rice for a creamy finish. My family actually prefers this version to the dairy one. It’s lighter and the plant-based yogurt is neutral enough to let the flavors shine through.

Plant-Based Tzatziki

Prep time: 15 MinTotal time: 15 Min

Ingredients

• 10 ounces Greek style or thick plant-based yogurt (I like Forager cashew yogurt)
• 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (I recommend having a good quality, fruity olive oil when you'r eating it raw, as in this recipe, or on salads.)
• 2 medium sized cloves of fresh garlic, minced or put through a garlic press
• 1/4 cup grated cucumber with skin
• 1 lemon, juice and zest
• 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Method

1. Drain off any standing liquid in the yogurt and scoop into a mixing bowl
2. Add the minced garlic. Grate the cucumber on a box grater and drain the excess liquid. Stir into the yogurt. Add the olive oil and lemon juice and combine. Add the finely chopped the dill and stir in.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away, or even better, allow to rest in the refrigerator for one hour. This lets the flavors really come together.
4. Keeps in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for up to 4 days.
