Some of us are just not that into cucumbers. It’s okay it doesn’t make us bad people but it will mess with your greek dishes real quick. No worries, today we have the best vegan no cucumber tzatziki.
Tzatziki Must be Hard to Make?
All sauces have their nuance but a sauce that requires no cooking and just a food processor this is as easy as it gets.
Now if you don’t want to use the old food processor, no problem you just have some extra chopping and mixing steps. It in no way takes away from the sauce.
What you need:
- Non-dairy (Vegan) Greek or at least plain yogurt
- Fresh Garlic
- Lemon
- Fresh Dill
- Olive Oil
- Cilantro (Optional highly recommended)
What Makes Vegan No Cucumber Tzatziki Special
Tzatziki is a staple to any falafel, like our We be Vegans Falafel. Besides the no cucumber part, the suggestion of adding cilantro makes it less authentic but adds another flavor element that pairs great with falafel.
We used a hefty amount of dill too. The herbs are what makes this dish but if you are less of a fan of dill cut it in half and you will still be very happy!
If you are asking us, a Falafel Pita Sandwich with this homemade no cucumber Tzatziki, will literally have you putting this in your rotation.
Here at We be Vegans we love sauces! Most likely your favorite dish from here will have a sauce on it.
Sorry if it feels like extra effort. You could always be one of those people who buys your sauce from Whole Foods but come on just a little extra effort sometimes makes all the difference.
So let’s get saucy!
