    This tzatziki has the creamy tang of a traditional recipe, but is dairy free! Serve with lamb or chicken, as a dip for fresh veggies, with pita chips, or as a dollop over chilled summer soups. Delicious.

    Ingredients

    • 1 medium cucumber
    • 4 garlic scapes (or 2-3 cloves)
    • juice of 1 lemon
    • Salt & Pepper
    • Sprig of fresh dill
    • 1 cup of soaked raw cashews

    Directions

    1. To soak the cashews: Put 1 cups of raw cashews in a canning jar or bowl, cover with hot water from your kettle (meaning hotter than tap but not boiling), let soak 1-4 hours. Drain.
    2. Peel your cucumber, cut in half, scrape out the seeds with a spoon.
    3. If you want chunky tdadziki, save about 1/4 of the cucumber to the side. If you want creamy, use it all in this first step.
    4. Blend the cucumber, lemon juice, garlic scapes, drained cashews, dill, and a big pinch of salt and pepper in your blender until smooth.
    5. Taste. Add additional S&P to taste.
    6. If you wanted it creamy, you are done, if you like some texture, add the final 1/4 of your cucumber to this mix cut into small pieces.
    7. Serve.
    8. Will keep in the refrigerator for a few days.
