This is the easiest homemade dairy-free tzatziki sauce! It’s made with coconut yogurt, cucumber, dill, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil, and is perfect to serve with vegetables or gluten-free pita chips.

What is Tzatziki sauce?

Tzatziki is commonly used in Greek cuisine as a sauce or dip made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, olive oil, and lemon juice. It’s light, fresh, and goes perfectly with Mediterranean flavors!

What makes this Tzatziki different…

• It’s dairy-free! Traditional tzatziki is made with dairy-based yogurt, but this version is made with coconut yogurt. It’s still nice and tangy, but without the dairy.
• But it still has all of the flavors you love in tzatziki. It’s tangy, fresh, herby, and perfect for dipping and spreading!

The Ingredients for Easiest Dairy-free Tzatziki

• Coconut yogurt. I love using the brand Culina for this recipe! You can also use homemade yogurt.
• Cucumber.
• Fresh Dill. 
• Lemon Juice.
• Olive Oil.
• Garlic, Salt, and Pepper.

How to make Easiest Dairy-free Tzatziki

• Step 1. Grate the cucumber and garlic. Pat the cucumber dry.

• Step 2. Add the coconut yogurt, salt, pepper, dill, lemon juice, and most of the olive oil. Stir to combine.
• Step 3. Top off with a bit more olive oil and serve with vegetables or pita chips.

How do you store homemade Tzatziki sauce?

Store this sauce in an airtight container, or in a bowl that’s tightly wrapped in the fridge.

How long can you keep Tzatziki sauce in the fridge?

If it’s stored properly, you can keep it in the fridge for 1-2 days, if not more.

Can you use another yogurt if you’re allergic to coconut?

I find that coconut yogurt is the best dairy-free option as it’s still tangy, but you can opt for another dairy-free option and adjust the lemon juice if needed.

What do you serve with Tzatziki sauce?

• Vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, etc.
• Gluten-free pita chips
