    Classic Dairy-Free Tzatziki with Dill is a Fresh Mediterranean Accompaniment

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on July 6, 2021 Appetizers, Condiments and Salad Dressings, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sauces

    This classic dairy-free tzatziki uses cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill and non-dairy yogurt for a simple plant-based condiment that goes well with falafel, veggies, or even falafel burgers. A touch of olive oil is added for richness flavor, and to help the flavors meld.

    Tzatziki is a Mediterranean dip or spread that’s usually made with dairy yogurt. But the dairy-free blend below is equally delicious and pairs well with both plant-based and omnivorous meals.

    In addition to falafels, you can enjoy this classic dairy-free tzatziki with grilled potato kabobs,vegan balsamic vegetable skewers, Mediterranean steak skewers, or vegan garlicky Greek chickpeas with spinach. It’s a fresh contrast to grilled or warm meals. You can also serve it simply as a dip with crudité and pita wedges.
