Instructions

  • Peel the cucumber and scoop out the seeds. Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater or finely dice it. Place the grated cucumber in a clean dish towel and squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut yogurt, mint (or dill), garlic, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice.
  • Add the diced cucumbers and stir well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on top of the dairy-free Tzatziki sauce.

Notes
