Equipment

  • 1 box grater
  • 1 Serving bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 1 cup dairy free yoghurt recommend The Coconut Collab Natural Yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Wash and grate the cucumber on the large holes of the box grater.
  • Place the grated cucumber onto a couple of sheets of kitchen roll and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible over the sink. You may need to do this in batches. Removing the excess water helps prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.
  • Place the grated cucumber in the serving bowl and add the remaining ingredients - yoghurt, chopped fresh mint, juice of ½ a lemon, olive oil and salt.
  • Stir until well combined and then leave it to rest in the fridge for the flavours to develop.
  • Serve straight away or chill for later with a garnish of fresh mint and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. In fact, the flavours continue to develop over time. Simply give it a quick stir before serving.
