Tzatziki

This delicious plant-based version of the Greek dip, which is normally made with dairy yogurt, is creamy and rich from the cashew base and light and refreshing from the cucumbers and herbs all at the same time. Serve this tasty dip with a platter of your favorite vegetable crudité, such as carrot, celery, cucumber, bell pepper, radish, asparagus, and lettuce leaves. Or enjoy with gluten-free crackers, such as the Medical Medium Cassava Crackers.

Cucumbers have phytochemical compounds that act as anti-inflammatories to the small intestines and colon.

Garlic helps flush toxic viral and bacterial waste out of the lymphatic system.
