Beetroot tzatziki

Recipe Image

This sweet yet tangy tzatziki works just as well as a dip as it does nestled up to fish or meat. It’s completely moreish so you may find yourself just tucking into the bowl with a spoon!

Jennifers Tips

I like to use goat’s milk yoghurt for its sharpness but you could easily use sheep’s milk yoghurt or Greek-style yoghurt instead.
