Gather up a few ingredients and then, you have the perfect recipe for any dish!

Or you could eat it right out of the bowl, like I do!

Ingredients

Here is a quick look at the ingredients. It is to understand why these specific ingredients were chosen. To get the full recipe, go to the bottom of this post.

• Cucumber
• Carrots
• Parsley
• Vegan yogurt
• Seasonings
• Matcha

Matcha is optional and definitely odd to have in tzatziki. But, I love the light green hue it adds to the tzatziki.

Instructions

1. Squeeze out all the carrots and cucumber shreds. Keep the water because we are going to use it in this recipe.
2. In a small bowl, add the matcha powder and warm water. Gently mix it until matcha is fully mixed with the water. Set aside
3. In a separate bowl, add the cucumber & carrot shreds
4. Add all the dry ingredients.
5. Finally, add the yogurt, water from step 1 and the matcha water
6. Gently mix everything and let it sit for about 30 minutes before serving.

👩‍🍳 Substitution tip: You can always use vegan coconut yogurt for that coconut flavor or use regular dairy yogurt. If you use dairy yogurt, make sure you are using the full fat yogurt.

Answering Common Questions

Storage and Make Ahead

The best part of tzatziki is that it can be made ahead and it will be good for about 1 week. I also like to make air fryer falafel with it and then freeze them too. This way, I can have falafal wrap anytime I want.

I like to make a batch of it once a week and store it in (Affiliate Link) squeeze bottles.

As soon as you make it, refrigerate it. With vegan yogurt, it’s important to not keep outside for too long. Once refrigerated, it will be good for 1-2 weeks.

What do you eat tzatziki with?

It works best with souvlaki and gyros. It even works in a falafal burger recipe where it can be a topping. Flavor your Lebanese potatoes with it or drizzle it over cauliflower steaks. Even green beans can taste really good with vegan tzatziki flavored with it.
