Sometimes we have Turkish bread & dip for dinner. Don’t judge me, it’s awesome. Try it.
A good way to save money & make sure your dip isn’t really unhealthy is to make it yourself. I had always put this into the too hard basket until I tried these 2 recipes – so easy
Beetroot Dip
1 can of beetroot, drained
2 tsp horseradish
1 tbsp lemon juice (use lemon squeeze if you don’t have fresh)
1 cup light natural yoghurt
Salt & pepper
Put everything into a blender or food processor and blend. The end.

Growing up I don’t think hummus existed, or at least not in my house. These days, I can’t get enough of the stuff
Hummus
1 can of chickpeas, drained
2 tsp minced garlic
½ cup light natural yoghurt
2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt & pepper
Once again, put everything in a blender or food processor and blend. Too easy.
Sometimes you might need to adjust how much yoghurt you put into each of these, depending on the consistency of the yoghurt itself.
I’m about to try making my own natural yoghurt for the first time this week (thanks to my mother in law's advice). I'll let you know how it goes, but if it works out and tastes good, it would make these dips even cheaper. Talk about thrifty.
