Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened vegan yogurt (such as almond, soy, or coconut yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened vegan yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir well to combine.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the yogurt mixture, and mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 3
Take the grated cucumber and gently squeeze it over a sink or bowl to remove excess water. This step is important to prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.
Step 4
Fold the grated cucumber into the yogurt mixture, stirring gently to distribute it evenly throughout the sauce.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 6
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. The sauce can be served immediately, but allowing it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes will enhance the flavors.
Step 7
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
