- Drain cucumbers well to prevent excess moisture from making the tzatziki watery.
- Use fresh herbs like dill and parsley for the best flavor—dried versions won’t provide the same freshness.
- Let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Adjust consistency by adding more almond milk if the sauce is too thick.

Ingredients
- ½ cup raw cashews soaked in water for 2-3 hours
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 clove garlic whole
- ¾ cups cucumber (½ large), diced
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoon fresh dill
- 2 tsp Italian parsley
- 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- If you have not yet soaked your cashews in room temperature water for 2-3 hours, I've found soaking them in boiling hot water for 20 minutes will also work. That being said, I highly recommend soaking the cashews for a smoother texture.
- In a food processor, combine the soaked cashews, tahini, garlic, cucumber, hemp seeds, almond milk, fresh dill, Italian parsley, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper and process until smooth.
- The mixture should we thick, but pourable.
- To loosen, add more milk, as needed.
