• Use it on Anything: You can use this tzatziki on anything. Use it as a dip, spread it on a sandwich, with protein like my vegan gyros, or whatever your heart desires

🍲 Ingredients

Olive Oil: Make sure you choose a good quality olive oil. Look for “extra virgin” on the label and avoid anything in a clear bottle since olive oil doesn’t like light!

Yogurt: You can use yogurt, vegan yogurt, or cream cheese here. Whatever you prefer. The consistency will slightly change based on what you choose but any option is delicious.

Dill: I love fresh dill in this recipe as fresh herbs just add a better flavor in my opinion, but this recipe will still be delicious with dry dill if you don’t have fresh on hand. Use one teaspoon of dried dill for every one tablespoon of fresh.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Greek Tzatziki Sauce

🪄 Tips and Tricks

• How to squeeze a cucumber: There are a few ways you can do this. Some people like to sprinkle salt on them and leave them in a strainer to allow for the water to drain. However, when you don’t have time for that, once you grate the cucumbers, squeeze out the moisture with your hands. Voila!

🗒 Substitutions

• Greek Yogurt: You can use a vegan yogurt or cream cheese substitute
• Olive Oil: Substitute olive oil for avocado oil if you prefer it

🗒 Best served with

• Use this as a topper with plant-based jackfruit gyros
• If you aren’t plant-based this can be great on chicken souvlaki as well
