Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened vegan yogurt (such as almond, soy, or coconut yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened vegan yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir well to combine.
Add the minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the yogurt mixture, and mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Take the grated cucumber and gently squeeze it over a sink or bowl to remove excess water. This step is important to prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.
Fold the grated cucumber into the yogurt mixture, stirring gently to distribute it evenly throughout the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. The sauce can be served immediately, but allowing it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes will enhance the flavors.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
