Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup (320 g) thick dairy-free yogurt unsweetened, e.g. coconut or soy
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 1 (150 g) Persian cucumber unpeeled
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 tsp white vinegar
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
    First, grate the cucumber using the large holes of a grater (or food processor disk) and then lightly squeeze it with your hands over a bowl to remove most of the moisture.
  • Transfer the drained cucumber to a bowl with the yogurt and all remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
  • Taste the vegan tzatziki and adjust to your personal taste - more vinegar for tang, salt and pepper, garlic, etc. Enjoy with pita!

Notes

  • If you have the patience, I recommend allowing the tzatziki to marinate for 1-2 hours in the fridge. This will allow the flavor to meld and develop for an overall better final taste.
