Ingredients
- 1 cup Dairy-free unsweetened plain yogurt (e.g., coconut or almond yogurt)
- 1 medium (about 1 cup grated) Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by grating the cucumber using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated cucumber into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step ensures that your tsatsiki will not be watery.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free unsweetened plain yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, fresh dill, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the texture is smooth.
Step 4
Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Step 5
Transfer the Dairy-Free Tsatsiki to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but highly recommended for the best flavor.
Step 6
Serve chilled as a dip with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or as a sauce for falafels, gyros, or roasted vegetables.
