Tzatziki Sauce

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Traditional Tzatziki sauce is not plant based so today I made a non-dairy version Tzatziki Sauce simply by replacing Greek yogurt with non-dairy yogurt.  Great success!   Of course, you can always use regular Greek yogurt if you don’t follow a plant based diet…that’s the only difference in this recipe.

This recipe calls for salting the cucumbers to draw out the excess water which I like to do since cucumbers contain a lot of water.  I suppose you could skip this step if you want but to be honest I’ve never tried that!

Tzatziki sauce is really easy to make and delicious on so many things. Most commonly eaten alongside fresh pita or with gyros, kebabs, grilled meats and other Greek dishes.
