Share recipe:

Ingredients

8 tbsp or a 200g tub of plain reduced-fat yoghurt*
1 lemon, juiced
½ clove garlic, crushed
¼ bunch mint leaves, finely chopped
Pinch of salt

* Gluten free if using a gluten-free yoghurt

Savvy swaps

You can swap:

Fresh mint
Dried mint
Fresh lemon juice
20-40mL bottled lemon juice

Tips

  • Yoghurt provides calcium for strong bones and teeth. 
  • Making your own dip allows you to control the ingredients to make it as healthy as possible.

  • Store left over stalks of mint in a jar of water on the bench. Make sure there are no leaves under water. 
  • Stir left over chopped mint through cooked peas. 

  • To save money try growing your own herbs, like mint, in the garden or in pots.   
  • You can save money by using home brand yoghurt. 
  • Compare prices per 100g to get the best value for money. This information is on the supermarket price tag. It can be cheaper in the long run to buy a larger tub of yoghurt. 

Method

Step 1
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together.

 

Serving suggestion: Add finely diced cucumber for a refreshing crunch. 

Food safety tip: If you are packing for lunch, yoghurt dip needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
