Low FODMAP Coconut Yogurt Cucumber Tzatziki

This cool, creamy dip starts with finely grated cucumber, salted and pressed until nearly dry so it folds into thick coconut yogurt without watering everything down. Fresh dill and a touch of mint bring bright, herbaceous flavor, while a splash of apple cider vinegar and a drizzle of good olive oil add the tang and richness this dish is known for. The texture lands right where it should — cool, thick, and scoopable, with little flecks of green throughout. Finished with a swirl of olive oil and extra dill sprigs on top, it's a refreshing option to serve alongside sliced cucumber or other raw vegetables. It comes together in under 40 minutes and holds well in the fridge for a couple of days, making it easy to prep ahead. This version fits comfortably into a low FODMAP spread, so you can dip in without a second thought.

Instructions

1
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.
2
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.
