MEDITERRANEAN WRAP
Gyros Inspired Meatless Wrap With Vegan Tzatziki
Vegan
Posted on January 07th, 2016
Last week I realized that it has been few years since I ate Greek food with Tzatziky sauce. I don’t even remember how long exactly, all I know that I used to enjoy it. I had some wraps and mock meat, which led me to an idea to make vegan Gyros. I did look it up the traditional recipe online first, just to get the basic idea and I was very happy to discover that I have most of the ingredients, except vegan yogurt. Well, that didn’t stop me from going ahead with my experiment, because I felt that I can improvise with what I have.
And voila, it turned out super delicious. I don’t know for sure if it tastes exactly like the traditional Tzatziki, because it’s been so long, all I can say that I love it. Maybe you can let me know, if you get a chance to compare.

You may add pinch odd salt if you like.
