Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Optional: fresh mint (finely chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. This step is crucial to avoid a watery Zaziki.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the unsweetened coconut yogurt.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl.
Step 4
Add the grated and squeezed cucumber to the bowl with the yogurt.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh dill (and mint if using), and stir it into the mixture.
Step 6
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 8
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Serve chilled as a dip, spread, or sauce.
