Is there anything better than tzatziki? I think not.
I think the only sauce that beats tzatziki, for me, is toum (the garlic sauce/paste you get from Middle Eastern restaurants). Garlic sauce is a pain in the behind to make, and it’s essentially just oil (like a lot), garlic, lemon juice, and salt. So it’s not made quick by any means, and it’s not good for you either. So tzatziki will have to win!
Tzatziki — the one dairy ”thing” besides ice cream I really enjoyed growing up. And if you are thinking, ”What about cheese?”, my answer to that is eww. Just no.
So I, of course, recently made my own quick version of tzatziki. I realized that my blog had no vegan tzatziki sauce and I just couldn’t live with it anymore. I had to remedy the situation and make one STAT!
This recipe is really simple, but it really does taste just like I remember! I did not add garlic to it, for some reason… I am questioning my judgement at the moment, so of course feel free to add some minced garlic in there if you would like! Garlic makes everything better!
Another thing I am realizing just now is I do not have a picture of just the sauce, but I really should since that’s what the recipe is about right? So I apologize for that and I will shoot pics next time I make this vegan tzatziki sauce and update this post when I do!
Bon appétit!
