How to make the best creamy tzatziki
Step 1: Soak cashews in hot water for 1 hour. Combine the soaked cashews, water, garlic and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until very smooth.
Step 2: Transfer to a bowl and stir in the shredded cucumber, dill and salt. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to really bring out the flavours.
How to store homemade tzatziki
You can store your homemade tzatziki in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to one week. I recommend taking the tzatziki out of the fridge a couple of minutes before serving because it tastes nicer at room temperature.
