Quick and Easy Probiotic Tzatziki

Probiotic tzatziki with milk kefir or yogurt

Probiotic tzatziki is delicious Greek dip that is so quick and easy to make, you’ll never buy it again! It is a creamy, yogurt based dip that can be made with regular yogurt for a pourable dressing or sauce. Greek yogurt or kefir cheese to make a thick dip.

Serving Tzatziki

Probiotic tzatziki is perfect for a Mediterranean-inspired meal. It has a bright, fresh flavour that compliments starchy foods. Here’s some dishes that are perfect for tzatziki:

  • Tzatziki is perfect in a sandwich or wrap, particularly if you are serving falafels, gyros or shawarma.
  • Serve tzatziki and hummus as dips for vegetables and pitas.
  • Serve it as a sauce for a simple bowl of rice.
  • It makes a creamy and probiotic salad dressing that is similar to ranch dressing.

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1/2 cups 1x
  • Category: Dips
  • Cuisine: Greek
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

  1. Peel the cucumber. Slice it in half and remove the seeds. Finely dice the cucumber. You want about 1 cup of diced cucumber.
  2. Mix the cucumber with all of the other ingredients.
  3. Leave the flavours to mingle for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  4. 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 (affiliate link.)

    Made this tonight using fermented coconut yoghurt. Kids and I loved it with our chicken Koftas.

    I love tzatziki and make it all the time. Now that we’re making homemade yoghurt we can make it even more often. Thanks!
