Tzatziki is a classic Greek dip made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic & mint. It’s traditionally made with dairy, but I’ve swapped it for a creamy alternative coconut yogurt. I’ve also used a secret ingredient which compliments the recipe very well!

Love it! I often eat eat it to rice with air fried tofu, it’s an easy and fast, and yet so delicious meal. Just instead of yogurt I prefer to make it with skyr. (Vegan of course… not mentioning that got me banned in another vegan sub…)
I love tzatziki and this photo.
