Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and finely grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumber: Peel and finely grate the cucumber. Gently squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel to avoid watery sauce.
  2. Combine Yogurt and Lemon: In a mixing bowl, stir together the plant-based yogurt with fresh lemon juice and olive oil (natural) to create a smooth, tangy base.
  3. Add Garlic and Herbs: Finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh dill. Mix them into the yogurt mixture for the signature vibrant flavor.
  4. Mix in Cucumber and Season: Fold the grated cucumber into the mixture. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Let the sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Drain the cucumber well to prevent a runny sauce and keep it thick and creamy.
  • Use fresh herbs such as dill or mint for elevated flavor.
  • Add lemon juice gradually to balance tanginess without overpowering.
  • Chilling the sauce deepens the flavor and creates a harmonious blend.
  • Choose creamy plant-based yogurt with a mild flavor for authentic texture.
