Vegan Tzatziki Sauce

January 12, 2016January 12, 2016 Melissa King 2 Comments

The other day my friend Liz from The Lemon Bowl posted a delicious looking tzatziki sauce. I instantly wanted to try and do a veganized version. That is where this Vegan Tzatziki Sauce came about. Make sure you check out The Lemon Bowl for some awesome, healthy recipes! Traditionally, the recipe calls for yogurt. I made mine with plain coconut yogurt. For those that think the coconut will effect the taste, trust me, it won’t. The flavors of the dill and garlic take over.

This dip is great on so many things. Veggie burgers, raw veggies, chips, pita bread, and so much more! This recipe also got the thumbs up from my Turkish mother in law. If you like this, you may also enjoy my dairy free ranch dressing and my dairy free sour cream. If you can’t have any coconut, I bet you could tweak my dairy free sour cream to use in place of the yogurt.

Did you know that 2016 is the International Year of the Pulses? In addition to this healthy soup recipe, I am here to tell you all about pulses.

What are pulses?

Pulses are a category of superfoods that include: lentils, chickpeas, beans and dried peas. They are very versatile and can be used in sweet or savory recipes. Just try my Almond Joy Flourless Blondies and you will be a believer. Trust me!

Chocolate Pistachio Mousse. Let’s face it. Sometimes you need a little chocolate. That is where this Healthy Chocolate Mousse Recipe comes in.

It’s rich, creamy and satisfying. It only takes a little to satisfy you. You can whip it up in minutes too. If you love chocolate, you should also try my homemade chocolate bars or my chocolate flourless muffins.

This healthier mousse recipe contains zero refined sugar and takes minutes to make. It’s also vegan, dairy free and gluten free.

If you wanted to use another nut, I think you could. I could see hazelnuts being a nice addition too.

Easy Baba Ganoush (Vegan)

You have to try this Easy Baba Ganoush recipe! My husband is half Turkish, so we eat a lot of Turkish food. So delicious! My mother in law typically uses yogurt in her baba ganoush recipe, so we didn’t use hers.

We made this vegan baba ganoush on our own and it came out so good! Some other Turkish recipes we have on the blog are hummus, white bean salad and red lentil soup.

This version of Baba Ganoush is vegan, gluten free and paleo. You can serve with a drizzle of olive oil and some fresh parsley for a pretty presentation. Perfect for veggies, chips, or whatever else!

It’s been freezing here in Dallas. The perfect time to make this 3 Bean Vegetable Soup. This soup is easy to make, and budget friendly too!

I made mine in the Instant Pot, so it only took 30 minutes. Seriously! It’s the best gadget ever. I know not everyone has an instant pot, so I will write directions to make this is in the slow cooker as well.

If you enjoy soups and slow cooker recipes, you may want to check out this roundup of healthy slow cooker recipes as well.

This recipe is vegan and gluten free. It also freezes well, so feel free to do that. I like to freeze in serving sized containers, so I can just grab one when I need it.
