Can I Make Tzatziki Sauce Gluten Free?
Tzatziki with no gluten? No problem! While salt is a traditional ingredient in tzatziki sauces, you can still make a delicious version without it. This recipe is great for low sodium diets – make sure you check the ingredients you use, as they may vary from mine. The fresh dill & garlic give this dip a nice earthy flavor.
A Creamy No Salt Added Tzatziki Recipe That’s Perfect for Summer
This gluten free tzatziki sauce is a quick and simple recipe. I love a good no-cook recipe for those days when I’m not feeling like standing around the stove, or for summer nights when it’s too hot to cook. I have a whole collection of recipes that require zero cooking at all, check them out here! This sauce comes together in about 5 minutes, and doesn’t require the stove or microwave to make. Just use a few pantry staple ingredients, a few fresh chopped herbs and veggies, and you have a tasty meal ready in no time. And very little to clean up afterwards… an added bonus!
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.
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- 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, this red wine vinegar is my go-to!
- Tellicherry Black Pepper: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. This pepper is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor! I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
