Ingredients You’ll Need

Greek Yogurt – tzatziki is traditionally made with Greek Yogurt, so I like to use it for my dips. If you are vegan or dairy free, there are some amazing plant based Greek yogurts out there made from almonds and cashews! Just make sure you use a plain unsweetened Greek Yogurt in this dip.
Fresh Garlic cloves
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Lemon Juice
Red Wine Vinegar: I used red wine vinegar for the marinade to give this dish a really nice bright Mediterranean flavor – for that, red wine vinegar is my go-to!
Tellicherry Black Pepper

Substitutions

If you don’t like Greek yogurt you can use sour cream instead, or any plain yogurt.

For a vegan tzatziki, you can use plain coconut yogurt or any dairy-free yogurt.

How To Make Gluten Free Tzatziki Sauce

In a blender or food processor, add the Greek yogurt, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Blend on low speed until all ingredients are well incorporated, and garlic is finely chopped.
Add yogurt sauce to a bowl, and stir in the fresh cucumber and the chopped dill. Add a little fresh pepper, parsley, and red onion to garnish and enjoy!
Serve with gluten-free pita chips or with sliced English cucumbers or other fresh vegetables.
