Tzatziki is easily one of our favourite condiments. This garlicky yogurt sauce works especially well paired with falafels, vegetable skewers, or just to dip some bread into.

I love this recipe. It's simple and easy to make and so delicious! I make this multiple times a month and just keep it stocked in my fridge to use with many different recipes!

The best tzatziki recipe ever! I love how quick and easy it is. The first time I made it I forgot to squeeze the grated cucumber and have since learnt from this mistake. It perfectly accompanies a whole host of other recipes.

A huge compliment, Charlotte, thank you so much for sharing!

Super easy and delicious! We find it to be fantastic with falafel wraps and salads.

I love this. Before this recipe I wasn't able to try tatziki because I'm lactose intolerant (and now living that dairy-free life). I use an unsweetened coconut milk yogurt and find it's very delicious. It's a very refreshing sauce with falafel!

So thrilled you're enjoying this one, Catherine!

Delicious! I made this a handful of times. I sub soy yogurt for unsweetened vegan coconut yogurt by Riviera. I omit the oil as I am oil free and it is delicious! The whole family really enjoys it.

Sadia, we loved the zatar wraps!! I didn't have zucchini but instead just used mushrooms, eggplants, red pepper, and carrots. Also lived the yogurt dip. You have inspired to cook vegan food 😋

So wonderful to hear, Mayura, thank you for sharing this with us! Lovely vegetable ideas as well 😃

I can’t find soy yogurt in my area. Will unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk yogurt work instead?

PUL Team - April 29, 2021, 1:17 a.m.

Hi Emma! Yes, another unsweetened yogurt will work. We hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
