Tzatziki sauce
Tzatziki is a Greek yogurt sauce. It's a tangy counterpoint to barbecued meats, kebabs and falafel. You can also use it as a dip with veggies or pita, or as a salad dressing.
To make this plant based, use plain soy yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

- 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
In a medium bowl, grate the cucumbers. Drain off the extra liquid. Add the yogurt, dill, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well. Refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
