vegan tzatziki | hot for food by Lauren Toyotasource: https://www.hotforfoodblog.com/recipes/2014/05/12/vegan-tzatziki/I love using cashews in the hot for food kitchen! They’re so versatile and create the creamiest of textures.In fact, cashews are so creamy and can take on any flavor that non-vegans will be surprised that they’re eating nuts. I’ve made vegan tzatziki with soy yogurt before, and you can totally sub in 1 cup to the recipe below. But in the end, cashews are the healthier choice. They’re chock full of heart healthy monounsaturated fats and are high in copper and magnesium. Go nuts for cashews, and don’t be afraid of the fat!For other recipes using cashew cream as the base check out the creamy caesar dressing, vegan mac & cheeze, and ranch dip.vegan tzatzikiIngredients1 C raw cashews, soaked for 20 minutes in hot water1/2 C water1/2 lime or lemon, juiced2 garlic cloves1/2 tsp sea salt1/4 tsp ground black pepper1/2 C shredded cucumber3 tbsp fresh dill, finely choppedInstructionsDrain and rinse cashews from the soaking water. Add to a high-powered blender along with water, lime (or lemon) juice, garlic, sea salt, and ground black pepper and blend until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the shredded cucumber and chopped dill. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. NotesThe post vegan tzatziki appeared first on hot for food by Lauren Toyota.
