The Best Tzatziki image

Modified from "Fast and Fun Food" by Karen Claffey. Many have said this is the best tzatziki they've ever had- not knowing it was made with tofu!

Time 8m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 1/3 ounces firm silken tofu (this is one package of Mori-Nu)
1 large cucumber, peeled
5 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

  • Cut the seeds out of the cucumber (you don't have to be too picky about this!), and finely chop or grate it.
  • Put the tofu, cucumber, lemon juice and salt in a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
  • Taste for lemon and salt. Stir in the dill.
  • Pour into a serving bowl and enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Besides being a great dip for veggies or tomato slices, it's wonderful on Tofu Gyros.
  • Keeps well for 1 week. You may want to add a tablespoon or so of water the next day, as it tends to thicken slightly.
