    This low fat tzatziki dip is based on the classic Greek yogurt sauce. It's ideal for dipping, spreading and as a compliment to salads. But, best of all this recipe is low calorie so unlike the original, it won't be so hard on your waistline!

    Hey folks, this low fat Tzatziki dip is the third in my series of four of my favourite dips.

    This is my version of the classic Greek cucumber yogurt sauce or dip.

    Dips and spreads can be calorie-heavy, but this version of Tzatziki definitely proves otherwise.

    It's a lightened up version that's just as delicious as the full-fat version!

    Why not check out my other low fat dips in the list below?

    The cucumber adds a real freshness to the creamy yogurt.

    Make sure you squeeze as much water as you can from the cucumbers to make the dip thicker.

    This Tzatziki dip is perfect for spring and summer outdoors feasting.

    It's an ideal compliment to your BBQ, or just as a dipping sauce for your Crudités!
