Ingredients
- 1.5 cups dairy-free unsweetened yogurt (e.g., coconut or almond-based)
- 1 medium English cucumber, grated
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Grate the cucumber using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture. This step ensures your tsatsiki does not become watery.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free unsweetened yogurt and grated cucumber.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 4
Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or dill according to your preference.
Step 6
Transfer the tsatsiki to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve chilled as a dip with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as an accompaniment to roasted vegetables or falafel.
