Recipe for Dairy Free Tzatziki Sauce
Tzatziki is a cucumber and salted yogurt sauce or dip which is a staple in Greek cuisine. Making dairy free tzatziki sauce is easy to do by swapping out traditional yogurt for a non-dairy or dairy-free yogurt. There are many different non-dairy yogurts like soy yogurt, coconut yogurt, oat yogurt, etc. Make sure you get a plain one instead of a flavoured one for your tzatziki!
To make the best dairy-free tzatziki recipe, all you need to do is use a grater to grate fresh cucumber, then squeeze the excess water out of the cucumber and mix the grated cucumber with all the ingredients together to make an easy tzatziki sauce that tastes fresh and delicious!
