How to Make Vegan Tzatziki - One Green Planet
Tzatziki is a creamy sauce typical in Greece and very popular in neighboring countries. Tzatziki is simple and easy to make and requires a handful of fresh ingredients. While traditional Tzatziki is made using whole Greek yogurt, it can be easily veganized using non-dairy yogurt such as coconut. This garlicky flavor-packed sauce is typically made with fresh dill, vinegar, and lemon juice. You can top this sauce on a vegan chick'n gyro, falafel, sandwiches, your favorite fresh veggies, or even spread it on top of warm pita bread. This classic Greek recipe tastes delicious on almost anything!
What you'll need:
- cucumber, unpeeled + finely grated
- coconut yogurt
- garlic
- red wine vinegar
- lemon juice
- finely chopped fresh dill
- extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
- black pepper
- mint, or parsley (optional)
How to make Tzatziki Sauce
- Combine all the ingredients into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Stir everything together.
- Pour the mixture into a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
- Serve and enjoy!
