Tzatziki sauce- a Greek yogurt based sauce/dip with cucumbers, dill, garlic and lemon. How simple and so amazing it is. It pairs so well on gyros of course, chicken souvlaki, and as a dip! I don’t stop there though, literally throw dollops of it on salad and veggies like a spread too. It’s so fresh and summery and I MISS IT!! Not eating Greek yogurt has left a hole in my heart when I see Tzatziki on the table.
I’m taking a stand.
So I’m saying yes to the fresh cucumber and dill today, sans yogurt. If you can eat Greek yogurt, simply do 1 cup of it with the rest of the ingredients. I instead subbed in 1/2 soaked cashews and 1/2 coconut cream for a smooth consistency that is a dairy-free version. You won’t taste the coconut, just the ‘tzatzeeks’ as I call it. And here I sit… Chopping on crudités dipped in it- YASSS! If you have access to a great non-dairy yogurt you love, toss that in for the probiotic benefit too.
Love this- hope you do too!!

I love tzatziki but dairy doesn’t love me, so this is PERFECT!
I love that this sauce is dairy free! It’s full of flavor and I know we’ll use it all the time!
Oh yum! Such a wonderful dairy-free option. The flavors sound amazing, especially with the garlic.
The perfect dipping sauce for my veggie platter! Yum!
What a simple and delicious recipe. Perfect for dipping or sandwiches.
Tasting all the "tzatzeeks" — love it! Coconut cream is pretty magical isn’t it?
So glad you have this staple greek food back in your life. Totally creative, as always. xo
Haha amen! I just have cans and cans of coconut milk and cream and use it for so much- lifesaver. Thanks, girl! Xo
