Minty yoghurt dip recipes

Ingredients:
* 4 sprigs of fresh mint
* 1 lemon
* ¼ clove of garlic
* 200 g natural yoghurt
* sea salt
* freshly ground black pepper
*

Ingredients:
This dip is delicious, much tastier than the shop-bought ones you can get, and you know exactly what’s gone into it.

1. Pick and finely chop the mint leaves on a chopping board, discarding the stalks, then add them to a mixing bowl.

2. Use a microplane to finely grate the zest of half a lemon onto the board, then transfer to the bowl.

3. Cut the lemon in half.

4. Squeeze the juice into a bowl, using your fingers to catch any pips.

5. Peel and very finely chop the garlic on a board, then scoop it up and add to the bowl.

6. Add the yoghurt and a tiny pinch of salt and pepper, then stir everything together.

7. Have a taste and add a squeeze more lemon juice, if you think it needs it.

8. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve with a platter of veggies for dipping.

Jamie’s top tip
I love to serve these dips with whatever seasonal crunchy vegetables I can get hold of – radishes, carrots, celery, or sweet crunchy lettuce leaves like cos and Romaine are great for dipping.
