Tzatziki is a Greek cucumber-yogurt sauce that is often used as an accompaniment to falafel or grilled meat. Although it is typically made from dairy yogurt, this version allows those who don’t consume dairy to still enjoy this flavorful sauce.
Peel and grate cucumbers. Add a teaspoon of salt and let stand for about 10 or 15 minutes. Put the grated cucumbers in a napkin, towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
Place the yogurt in a bowl, add the cucumbers, garlic cloves, lemon juice, oil, black pepper to taste, mint and dill. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Stir and let stand for at least three or four hours in the fridge. Serve cold with crudités.
