Instructions

Grate the Persian cucumbers using a box grater or a food processor. Once grated, place the cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess liquid. This step helps prevent the tzatziki sauce from becoming too watery.
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and chopped fresh dill.
Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the tzatziki sauce into an airtight container. You can use it immediately, but I recommend refrigerating for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use your homemade vegan tzatziki sauce as a dip for fresh vegetables, a topping for falafel or gyros, or a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Store any leftover tzatziki sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time, making it even more flavorful!
