Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt (see notes)
- 1/2 English cucumber peeled (enough for about 1 cup diced)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp mint, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Peel the cucumber. Slice it in half and remove the seeds. Finely dice the cucumber. You want about 1 cup of diced cucumber.
- Mix the cucumber with all of the other ingredients.
- Leave the flavours to mingle for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Tzatziki will last in the fridge for about 1 week.
Notes
- The thickness of the yogurt will change the consistency of the tzatziki. If you want a thin sauce or dressing, use regular yogurt. For a thick dip use Greek yogurt or kefir cheese.
- For a diary-free tzatziki use thick coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt.
- If you find raw garlic to be too strong, replace it with 1/4 tsp of garlic powder. I recommend using a sulfite free brand

Made this tonight using fermented coconut yoghurt. Kids and I loved it with our chicken Koftas.
Great! I hadn’t thought of coconut yogurt before. Sounds yum.
