Easy Peasy Beetroot Tzatziki Dip

    Look in my fridge and you will find an abundance of yogurt. Usually, not just any yoghurt, but Total Greek FAGE 0% yogurt. The stuff is divine. It's creamy enough to enjoy as a rich desert with various toppings whilst also being extremely healthy ; high in protein, low in fat and no added sugars.
It is also extremely versatile and easy to cook with in savoury dishes.
I needed a flavouring or dip for my salad the other evening and feeling uninspired by the choice of herbs and spices in the cupboard, I threw together this colourful dip, using only 4 ingredients.

It's literally so simple.

Beetroot (diced into small cubes), Lemon Juice, 0% Greek Yoghurt, Oregano or Mixed Herbs.

Ready for the step by step. It's detailed and tricky, I'll warn you now.
Ready?

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
......
That's it. It can't get any more simple than that! Obviously it's best served chilled and I wouldn't recommend keeping it for days on end, but it's a lot healthier than a lot of pre-packaged dips and not to mention cheap too! I used Tesco's Basics beetroot so I reckon that per serving, this comes in at about 20p? Maybe even less.
