Creamy Nutritional Yeast Tzatziki

Prep Time: 15 minutes   Chill Time: 30 minutes, optional   Total Time: 15–45 minutes   Servings: 4–6

Fresh, creamy, and full of flavor, this easy tzatziki combines Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, fresh mint and dill, lemon, and Bluebonnet Non-Bitter Nutritional Yeast Flakes. The nutritional yeast adds a subtle savory note that complements the bright herbs and cucumber without overpowering the classic tzatziki flavors. Serve it as a dip, spread, or refreshing accompaniment to grilled vegetables, pita, or your favorite Mediterranean dishes.

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cucumber, grated
• 2 tablespoons Bluebonnet Non-Bitter Nutritional Yeast Flakes
• 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Preparation Instructions

1. Prepare the cucumber. Grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible so the finished tzatziki stays thick and creamy.
2. Add the Greek yogurt and grated cucumber to a medium mixing bowl.
3. Finely chop the fresh dill and mint and add them to the yogurt mixture.
4. Add the Bluebonnet Non-Bitter Nutritional Yeast Flakes and fresh lemon juice.
5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Stir everything together until the cucumber, herbs, and nutritional yeast are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
7. For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.
8. Serve chilled with crackers, pita, fresh vegetables, or alongside your favorite Mediterranean-inspired meal.

Recipe Tip

Removing excess moisture from the grated cucumber is the key to a thick, creamy tzatziki. After grating, squeeze the cucumber firmly in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towel before adding it to the yogurt.
