Tzatziki is one of the most popular sauces for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern meals. But unlike other sauces from these regions, such as tahini sauce<\/a>, this one is traditionally made out of yogurt, making it not vegan-friendly.<\/p>\n Jump To Recipe<\/span> <\/strong> <\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n So, can you make tzatziki sauce vegan<\/strong>? Absolutely!<\/p>\n There are many ways to make this sauce dairy-free, but the easiest way is to use silken tofu as the base. You can also use vegan yogurts or soaked cashews as the base, but these can make the sauce more expensive and more difficult to make. I encourage you to give the tofu a try and then try out other bases.<\/p>\n This sauce is one of the easiest because if you’re in a rush, you can literally just throw everything into a food processor and blend it together. However, if you have some time, I recommend doing it this way:<\/p>\n First, place all of the ingredients besides the cucumber in a food processor and blend together. Give the sauce a taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you like how it tastes, it’s time to transfer it to a bowl and add in the cucumber.<\/p>\n You don’t have to peel your cucumber before adding it to the sauce, but I like to at least score it before I chop it up. The pieces of cucumber with skins are slightly harder to chew than the rest of the sauce, which is why I like to remove some (or all) of the skins before adding it.<\/p>\n After peeling or scoring your cucumber, remove the seeds with a spoon and then start chopping. You want the diced cucumber pieces to be small, but not completely shredded. This is why I recommend not using the food processor for this part \u2014 it might shred the cucumber a little too much.<\/p>\n Toss the cucumber in and stir. Because silken tofu is not refrigerated before you open it, refrigerate the vegan tzatziki sauce for at least an hour before serving.<\/p>\n If you want to do everything in a food processor and not have to chop anything by hand, you can! Just add everything besides the cucumber to the food processor and blend.<\/p>\n After everything is blended together, toss in the seeded cucumber and pulse a few times. You might have to scrape down the sides and pulse some more until the cucumber is chopped. Be careful not to pulse too much.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nVegan Tzatziki Sauce Ingredients<\/h2>\n
