1 medium Cucumber (peeled and grated)
1 cup Unsweetened plant-based yogurt (preferably coconut or almond yogurt)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)

Instructions

1
Begin by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Peel it and grate it using a box grater or a food processor.
2
Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. This will help prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the strained cucumber, unsweetened plant-based yogurt, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and lemon juice.
4
If using, drizzle in the olive oil to add creaminess to the tzatziki.
5
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
6
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the tzatziki for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7
Serve chilled as a dip with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a dressing for salads.
