I love making small dips for summer, like my Vegan White Bean Dip, Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip, or Edamame Hummus as they are totally necessary for a plant-based summer barbecue. This cucumber dip is another delicious, fresh summer dip with lemon, mint, and garlic flavor. While many recipes make cucumber dip with cream cheese, and sour cream, our version is dairy-free, made with thick natural Greek Coconut yogurt.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need are:
Cucumber – Shred the cucumber into thin strips and drain them from their excess water. Greek yogurt – We always use dairy-free products in our recipes, and here we chose a Greek Style coconut yogurt made of 2 ingredients: coconut cream and probiotic. Feel free to use any Greek Yogurt you love if you are not dairy-free. You can also use low-fat yogurt to decrease saturated fat. Some Greek yogurts made of oat milk or almond milk are great for this. Garlic – Fresh crushed garlic or garlic powder. Fresh Mint or Fresh Dill – Fresh mint tastes the best, I believe, but of course, fresh dill is great too but more garlicky and less refreshing than mint. You can also use dried herbs. If you use only 1/2 teaspoon as it has a much more intense flavor. Olive Oil – I like to use extra-virgin olive oil for more flavor, but you can choose any oil you like! Lemon Juice – from a fresh lemon or from a ready-made lemon juice bottle.
