How to Use Tzatziki

Tzaztiki is often used as a dip with grilled meat, gyros sauce, or falafel sandwiches. It is also served as a dip for roasted vegetables or flatbread. (Try pairing it with this Turkish pide flatbread recipe.)

Tzatziki, the classic Greek combination of garlic, yogurt, and cucumber, is versatile and often served with grilled meat, gyros, roasted vegetables, pita bread or flatbread.

Ingredients

• Large cucumber - peeled, seeded, and grated.
• Plain vegan yogurt - 1 ½ cups (use unsweetened yogurt)
• Fresh garlic - 3 cloves - minced
• Fresh dill - ¼ cup - finely chopped
• Fresh lemon - 1 lemon - juiced
• Salt and pepper - to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil - Optional - drizzle on top when serving as a dip

Instructions

Making this vegan tzatziki sauce recipe is so easy! While making this sauce, extract moisture from the cucumbers as possible. This step will help keep your tzatziki sauce thick.

Step 1: Peal the cucumber, cut it in half, and remove the seeds. Using a box grater or food processor, grate cucumbers. Use your hands to squeeze the excess liquid out of the grated cucumber. You want to squeeze out as much water as possible. Place the grated cucumber in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2: Add the yogurt, garlic, dill, and lemon to the bowl with the cucumber and mix. Add additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper to your desired taste.
