Dairy Free Tzatziki Sauce with Jalapeño [Keto]

Dairy Free Tzatziki Sauce with Jalapeño is a fresh bright dip that pairs perfectly with Mediterranean dishes like braised lamb and sumac chicken wings. Jalapeño tzatziki sauce makes a great paleo & keto tzatziki twist!

We all love a good sauce, amiright?  There is something super satisfying about a good dip.  And a smooth creamy dip with a kick of jalapeno?  Oh drool city.  How about a DAIRY free Tzatziki sauce with Jalapeno?  My goodness are you arriving to your mouth-gasm?  No?  Just me?  Fine.  I like to arrive first anyway. 

I have a passion for Middle Eastern food.  I would love to be able to travel and tour the Middle East one day.  An eating tour.  Especially now that I have developed a liking of most olives. 

I was NOT a lover of olives, but persistence and a changing palate after eating Keto, paleo, AIP over the past few years has changed my mind. How great would it be to dip olives in this dairy-free tzatziki?  

If you don't have any sumac spice, I strongly suggest you pick some up.  This AIP friendly spice has a unique flavor that I didn't even know I had been craving.  AND then you can treat yo self to other mouth-watering recipes like sumac onions, sumac chicken wings , jeweled cauliflower rice, marinated chicken, and more coming soon (lamb maybe?)!

Today is a Netflix and PJ Day

My original plan was to write a life story about how jalapeno tzatziki has changed my life; but well, lucky for you you are spared from storytime because Netflix just released a new season of The Crown.  And my love of oldtime-ey white people is strong, and I need to watch this show, which is funny as I know how it will end.  But I still want to watch. 

Without any further wait…  Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Raw, Fermented basically ALL the buzzwords and drool-worthy as well, coconut yogurt tzatziki sauce with jalapeno.
