Tzaziki Barbecue Dip

Tzaziki barbecue dip is a super healthy menu idea to kick start any BBQ cookout and it’s easy to prepare too.

I was first introduced to Tzaziki on the Greek island of Paros many moons ago by a guy called Nick. He was a plumber from Clevedon near Bristol, England, and he was enjoying a fine life of long hard work in the winter and seriously long holidays in the summer. I wonder if he still does it?

We sat at a restaurant and dipped bread into a plate of tzaziki and a plate of eggplant salad – what a great way to start a meal! So refreshing on a hot summers day.

I now use dips like these with some vegetable cruditées as a great healthy start to any barbecue. Alternatively just slice up a few pitta breads and the result’s just as good.

Ingredients:-

• 1 medium cucumber peeled and finely chopped
• 225ml or ½ pint yoghurt
• 2 cloves crushed garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• ½ teaspoon salt

Method:-

Pour the yoghurt into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Give it a stir and chill for at least one hour to let the flavours come together.

If you’re a garlic fiend like me, you may want to add another clove and dip your bread!
