Trader Joe’s found that vegan cream cheese actually provided the best base for their dairy-free tzatziki. All the beloved food items found inside the aisles of this grocery store chain must undergo a rigorous approval process – and their vegan tzatziki is no exception. According to EatingWell, some products go through as many as five tasting panels before receiving the required minimum of 70% approval rating.
As noted by Sarah Klimek, the texture turns out a tad thicker than typical tzatziki and is more comparable to a herby cream cheese, so it’s a great addition to your bagel. However, this could quickly be adjusted with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and a good mix, should you ever want to drizzle it over your pita sandwich, wrap, or falafel bowl. But if the texture is no big deal, go ahead and dip your cucumbers or other veggies in it to enjoy its fresh and light flavor (via Sweet on Trader Joe’s).
Either way, Trader Joe’s Vegan Tzatziki is a favorite among the masses, with all the cool, tangy, and herby goodness of the traditional kind — just minus the dairy.
