This Paleo Tzatziki Sauce is so simple to make and is loaded with flavor. It is dairy free, gluten free, and Whole30 compliant.
I could have just added this sauce to they Paleo Gyro recipe, but I felt like it needed it’s own separate page. Mainly because I don’t want it to just get looked over, but also because I have made it just to dip veggies in and it is so good! So even if you don’t plan on making the gyros you should try this sauce.
My husband who hates cucumbers, totally loves this! I guess it’s just the way it’s combined with the garlic, dill, and onion that makes it so good.
I use coconut cream which thickens up in the fridge. If you put it on warm meat it will become much thinner- just a warning.
This is so easy to make and has become one of our favorite sauce and dips.

FABULOUS
I bought a Thai kitchen Coconut Cream can (not milk) but it still had liquid in it, I did not use, but wondering if I should have…
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Robin- you could have stirred it together and used it (it wouldn’t be as thick), but using the top part works. Thanks for trying it.

I used Trader Joe’s coconut cream and this ended up SO watery! Is that not a good choice?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Claire- have you refrigerated it yet? It should thicken up in the fridge.
