This Greek girl cannot get enough Tzatziki! The creamy, cucumber and dill sauce goes with everything, seriously. Whether it is grilled veggies, salad, or kebabs, the list goes on. I first started to make my own Tzatziki for my husband, who has been dairy free since childhood. This is the version I make for my him, and nearly every family gathering. Enjoy this recipe, and do me a favor: Chop up some bell peppers or celery and dip them into your Tzatziki for a snack. You will fall in love instantly!
Dairy Free Tzatziki
Yields about 2 cups
Ingredients:
2 cups unflavored yogurt (I always use a clean, unsweetened store-bought version or I make my own coconut yogurt. You can also use goat or sheep’s milk yogurt if you tolerate it)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup dill, chopped
1 cucumber, shredded
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
1 lemon, squeezed
1/4 cup olive oil
Cracked pepper to taste
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and chill for about an hour. Enjoy with veggies or my favorite grain-free crackers from Simple Mills! Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Note about the crackers: These are seriously so good, so good that they were in my hospital bag when I gave birth to sweet Nico! I love that they are made with sprouted seeds, making it easier for digestion. The original flavor is my favorite, but they’re all super yummy.
Laurel, I am sorry I keep leaving so many comments, but now that I have found you, I am going thru reading each post and will be spending A LOT of time in the kitchen!!! 🙂 I would love to know the brand of yogurt you use as your go-to in your recipes. Yogurt is just about the only dairy product I still use but I would love to have a non-dairy yogurt to turn to. I am on the East Coast in a small country town and there is a good chance I won’t have access to the same brands you do. But I would still love to know what you recommend and use. Thanks so much and again I am sorry I have so many questions.
