Nutritious Tzatziki

Vegan Tzatziki. Oh my gosh, this one is pretty close to the real deal and so flavorful. It doesn’t lack flavor, creaminess, or strength. It’s completely balanced with the amounts of fat, acidity, and salt – you will love it. This dip is perfect when paired with all the natural foods in the world – spread it on homemade crackers, dip it with fresh foods like carrots, tomatoes, and cucumber or even slap it on your next salad bowl! The possibilities are endless.
