What is tzatziki?
Tzatziki is Greek dish traditionally made with Greek yogurt, cucumbers, and various spices. It can be used as a dip, dressing or garnish.
How can I make tzatziki vegan?
To mimic the creaminess of yogurt, this recipe uses soaked cashews. You can soak your cashews in water overnight, or cover them with hot water and let them sit for about 20 minutes. The cashews provide a base texture that is similar to traditional tzatziki.
Do I need to use purple sweet potato powder?
Suncore sweet potato powder doesn’t impact the flavor, it’s there to add a pop of color. Feel free to omit it!
No matter how you use it, Vegan Purple Tzatziki Sauce will elevate your meal with a punch of flavor and color. Spread it on a sandwich, mix it in a salad, or serve with a veggie tray as a colorful appetizer. There are so many options!
