Why you'll love this recipe

You only need 4 ingredients, plus salt and pepper, to make it.
It's ready to enjoy in 10 minutes or less.
It's an easy way to add an extra layer of flavor to your favorite dishes like kabobs, roasted vegetables, grains, sandwiches, and more.

Ingredients

Plain dairy-free yogurt: Make sure you are purchasing an unsweetened vegan yogurt without added sugar. There are many kinds of plant-based yogurts on the market made with everything from coconut to soy to cashews. Try a few and pick your favorite!
Fresh garlic: Since you probably don't want a big chunk of raw garlic in your sauce, try to mince the garlic as finely as you can. I recommend using a microplane grater.
Fresh mint leaves
Fresh parsley leaves: Either Italian flat-leaf or curly parsley.
Salt and pepper

Variations

Give it a lemony kick by adding the zest of a lemon plus a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Swap out the parsley and mint and use fresh dill or chives instead.
Add a little heat with a pinch of cayenne or Aleppo pepper. Or stir in some crushed red pepper flakes.
Turn it into a vegan Tzatziki sauce by adding grated cucumber. (Be sure to squeeze out the excess water from the cucumber before stirring it in.)
Drizzle some olive oil on top.
