Loaded with nourishing fats, herbs and spices, this dip is super simple to prepare and an easy way to add a splash of vibrant colour and flavour to a big platter of veggies. This recipe will have you dipping, smearing, dunking and diving back for another forkful. It’s a simple yet stunning addition to a holiday season grazing platter.
Serves 4-5
400g plain unsweetened yoghurt
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
bunch of fresh herbs (such as oregano, dill, parsley), roughly chopped
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
veggies of your choice (such as baby cucumbers, baby turnips, ruby chard, romanesco broccoli)
1) Spoon the yoghurt into a bowl — choose one with high sides so you can safely pour in the oil. Place your garlic, chilli, smoked paprika and herbs in a jug or bowl.
2) Heat up the oil in a saucepan until hot, then carefully pour it over the garlic mixture; it will sizzle and pop. Pour this warm mixture over the yoghurt and sprinkle with sea salt.
3) Arrange veggies of choice on a platter with dip in the middle, then enjoy!

A nod to the Italian keto mummas for this comforting dish! The soft, pillowy gnocchi-like dumplings are made with ricotta instead of potato, which makes them lighter and less chewy than their cousins. The gnudi are then baked instead of boiled and drenched in a wonderfully buttery finger-licking sauce.
