A versatile little dip that both refreshes and enhances a vast array of dishes.
Anyone who has travelled to Greece or Turkey will have tried this dip - it is often served along with bread and olives, as an extra with your main order or as part of the mezze. In whichever form it arrives I will absolutely devour it. Which makes it all the more surprising that is so easy to make, and with ingredients around the home. I tentatively tried making this and falafel with my school cooking club and i was pleasantly surprised to find that it was very popular among the children. Try it yourself, you may be surprised.
