Vegan Tzatziki Recipe
Report
Vegan tzatziki is a cashew-based, dairy-free dip that tastes just like the real thing. It's light, creamy, and filled with fresh ingredients. Watch the video below to see how I make it!

Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked 4-6 hours (or overnight)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 medium cucumber peeled and shredded
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Soak your cashews overnight. Then drain and thoroughly rinse them.
- Blend the cashews, water, lemon juice and garlic in a high-powered blender for 1-2 minutes, or until creamy.
- Place the shredded cucumber in a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and press down to remove excess liquid. Alternatively, you could use a nut milk bag to sqeeze out the liquid.
- Pour the cashew mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the drained cucumber, dill and salt, then stir together to combine.
- Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Note that the mixture will thicken a bit after it's fully cooled.
- These are the raw cashews I buy in bulk for all of my vegan sauce recipes.
