Tzatziki w/ Skyr, Shallots, & Lemons
Skyr tzatziki is a fun take on a more classic tzatziki with skyr, instead of Greek yogurt, English cucumbers, shallots, lemon juice, and olive oil. You can substitute anything yogurt-like for Greek yogurt. From cow's milk to goat milk, australian yogurt, coconut yogurt, cashew yogurt, kefir, and skyr. Thicker yogurts that are more similar to Greek yogurt are going to have a more typical consistency. Although you can use whatever you want, including making a vegan version, just by swapping out the type of yogurt.
