Vegan Tzatziki (Oil-Free)
This vegan tzatziki is great as a dairy-free and gluten-free sauce or dip! It is creamy, tasty, and a great substitute for a traditional tzatziki.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews (+ water to soak)
- ½ - ¾ cup water
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cucumber (grated)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
- Start by soaking your cashews. The fastest way is to boil water with an electric kettle, then pour the water over the cashews in a bowl and cover the bowl. Let sit for 20 minutes, then drain the water and your cashews are ready to use.
- Once your cashews are soaked, add them to your blender or food processor with ½ cup of water. Blend until smooth, using more water if needed.
- Next, blend in the garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
- Prepare your cucumber by grating it and measuring 1 cup. Then squeeze out the excess liquid before adding it to your blender or food processor. If you want some texture to your tzatziki, pulse it without fully blending.
- Add your dill and pulse until desired texture is reached.
