Creamy, herby, and refreshingly cool, this tzatziki delivers everything you love about the classic Greek dip without a drop of dairy. The base is thick, plain coconut yogurt — unsweetened and additive-free — which gives it that rich, tangy body that makes tzatziki so satisfying as a dip or a sauce. The key step here is properly draining and squeezing the grated cucumber until it's nearly dry, which keeps the dip thick and scoopable rather than watery and thin. Fresh dill, a touch of mint, grated garlic, and a splash of apple cider vinegar round out the flavor so it tastes bright and balanced, not like a compromise. Since every ingredient is straightforward and whole, you don't have to scan labels for hidden celery seed, celery extract, or vegetable blends that often sneak into store-bought dips and spice mixes. Drizzled with good olive oil and served alongside crisp cucumber slices or raw vegetables, it's the kind of crowd-pleasing spread that disappears fast — and it keeps in the fridge for up to two days if you somehow have leftovers.

Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater into a fine-mesh strainer set over a small bowl. Toss with 1/4 tsp of the salt and let stand for 20–30 minutes, until the cucumber has released most of its liquid.
Gather the salted cucumber in your hands or in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly until very little liquid remains — the cucumber should feel almost dry to the touch.
