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.
So far I’ve shared with you my low fat hummus dip.
And my delicious low fat red pesto dip, and today it’s this low fat tzatziki. My version of the classic Greek favourite.
The cucumber adds a real freshness to the creamy yogurt.
That makes it perfect for spring and summer outdoors feasting.
An ideal compliment to your BBQ, or just as a dipping sauce for your Crudités!

Low Fat Tzatziki Dip Recipe
This versatile low fat tzatziki dip can also be served as a sauce, perfect with fish or grilled meat.
For a vegetarian option, I really do recommend this with my Chick Pea Burger recipe.
And, the longer you can leave it in the fridge to marinate, the more the delicious tangy taste of the garlic together with the cooling effects of the yogurt will come through!
