What’s In This Gluten Free Cucumber Yogurt Dip Recipe?
- 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.
