Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Optional: fresh mint (finely chopped)
Instructions
Grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. This step is crucial to avoid a watery Zaziki.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the unsweetened coconut yogurt.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl.
Add the grated and squeezed cucumber to the bowl with the yogurt.
Finely chop the fresh dill (and mint if using), and stir it into the mixture.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a dip, spread, or sauce.
