Tips: Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of McKenzie's Paprika. Not only does this make a great dip, try spreading on warmed pita breads before topping with cooked chicken or lamb, tomato slices and shredded lettuce for a tasty souvlaki. Thin down this recipe slightly with extra water making a delicious sauce to accompany a salad, grilled chicken breast, baked potatoes, grilled fish or steamed vegetables. A great after school snack served with fresh carrot, celery and red capsicum sticks.
