Naturally Gluten-Free Sauces
Dairy-Free Tzatziki Sauce
Serves 6 people

INGREDIENTS
2 Cups Plain Cashew Yogurt, or Cashew Cream
2 Cucumbers, grated
½ Tsp Sea Salt
¼ Tsp White Pepper
1 Tbl Lemon Juice
2-3 Tbls Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic, minced, crushed
2 Tsp Fresh Dill, chopped
1 Tsp Fresh Mint, chopped (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
Line 2 fine colanders or strainers with a double layer of cheesecloth and set over bowls so that the bottoms don’t touch. Grate the cucumbers and put into one of the lined strainers. Pour the cashew yogurt or cream into the second lined strainer and refrigerate both for 1 hour or longer.

When ready to prepare the Tzatziki, take out the 2 strainers and discard any liquid that has drained into the bowls. Gently press the cucumbers to remove any excess liquid. In a medium bowl combine all of the remaining ingredients and add the yogurt or cream and mix well. Gently fold in the grated cucumbers. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until needed. Serve cold and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Cashew Cream

1 Cup Raw Cashew Nuts, soaked overnight and drained
½ Cup Water
¼ Tsp Salt

Place all ingredients in a high speed blender or use a stick blender and blend or process until completely smooth. Cashew Cream should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
