Tips

Drain/squeeze excess liquid: For a super thick and creamy vegan tzatziki, it's important to remove as much water as possible from the grated cucumber. To do so, you can either place the cucumber in a strainer and gently press to drain excess liquid.  Let it sit in the fridge before serving: For best results, let your finished sauce chill for at least an hour so it has time to soak up all of that delicious flavor.  Try a seedless cucumber: Seedless cucumbers have less moisture to begin with, so you won't have to squeeze out as much excess liquid.
