Creamy Vegan Tzatziki

Welcome to another recipe!

Who doesn’t love tzatziki?

Tzatziki is a traditional appetizer dish, which you can find everywhere in Greece! The taste of garlic, as well as the variety of foods with which it can be combined, make it the number one choice. As a result, there is no Greek tavern that doesn’t have its own recipe, based on simple, traditional ingredients. In all the trips I have taken, in all the restaurants’ menus I have read, tzatziki is always there. All the people choose this dip with crusty bread for extra pleasure. And now, I started thinking about these things and I want a summer vacation on the sea in the middle of winter. So, anyway, I have one thing to say… I’m a fan of this dip! So, could this recipe not be one of the first I would publish?

But what about the vegan version?

If you follow me on Instagram (if not, run to do it now), you will surely have noticed how often I make tzatziki. More specifically, on various occasions, such as dinning with my friends, tzatziki accompanies the other dishes. But I don’t deny it… There are many times that I make it exclusively for my own pleasure! And of course, I could not help it but make a new, delicious recipe for this beloved dip! And ever since I tried the vegan version for the first time, I am absolutely excited! So, replacing the animal by-products, I am here to present you the most delicious and, above all, very easy recipe to impress everyone and especially yourself. Are you ready?

Course Appetizer

Cuisine Greek

Servings 5 servings

Ingredients

  

• 900 g soy yogurt
• 3 cucumbers
• 2 cloves of garlic (optional)
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 pinch of freshly ground pepper
• ½ bunch of dill

Instructions

 

• First of all, it is essential to know from the previous night that we want to make tzatziki. So, put a strainer in a bowl and spread a cheesecloth on top. Add the yogurt and leave it in the fridge overnight. In the morning you will see half -almost- amount of yogurt. Don't be scared! That was our goal, so that the tzatziki will be thick.
• Put the yogurt in the bowl and then peel and grate the cucumbers. When they are ready, drain them as much as possible by squeezing them by hand.
• Add cucumbers to the yogurt along with the other ingredients. If you are a fan of garlic, like me, you can add two cloves of garlic for extra garlic flavor. Mix all ingredients well until completely homogenized.
• Enjoy!

Notes

Extra Tip: Leave it in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Extra Tip: You can combine it perfectly with the best mushroom gyros.
