Mint Yoghurt Dip

This simple recipe combines creamy Greek yoghurt with fresh mint and cucumber for a cool, zesty flavour.
25 min prep
2 serves
0.4 serves of veg
  • ½ cup Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp mint leaves, finely chopped
  • ½ medium Lebanese cucumber
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  1. To remove the centre (seeds) of a cucumber, cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a teaspoon to scoop down the centre of each half, scraping out the seed pulp. Using the large hole/ coarse side of a grater, grate the cucumber.
  2. In a bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, mint, cucumber, and lemon juice.
  3. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Cover and leave in the fridge for 20 minutes for the flavours to blend.
  5. Serve with seasonal veggie sticks.

Serving Suggestion: Lebanese cucumber can be swapped for ¼ continental cucumber, or 3 – 4 quake cucumbers.

If you don’t have access to a grater, finely dice the cucumber instead. For a variation, substitute mint with dill, or try another herb that you are growing in the garden. This can also be served as a salad dressing.

Serve with any vegetables you have on hand, such as carrot, celery, broccoli, lettuce leaves or capsicum.

Storage: Store prepared dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help remove the mint leaves from the stem, mix the ingredients together and choose what vegetables to serve alongside this dip.
