A cool, refreshing Greek dip made with coconut yogurt, cucumber, dill, and garlic — all the flavor of traditional tzatziki without the dairy.
Dairy-Free Tzatziki
Traditional tzatziki relies on Greek yogurt, but this dairy-free version uses unsweetened coconut yogurt for the same tangy, cool creaminess. Perfect alongside grilled meats or as a vegetable dip.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt of choice)
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber on the coarse side of a box grater. Squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld.
Serve with warm pita, grilled vegetables, falafel, or as a sauce for wraps. Keeps refrigerated for up to 4 days.
