  • A generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper (or Steenbergs organic perfect salt)
  • A pinch dried tarragon
  • A pinch dried mint

“Persian food is always full-on flavour. Everything is in harmony and there is a reason for using each ingredient, which makes every dish unique. Each dish has a special taste yet is made of simple and fresh ingredients and in many cases it’s naturally vegetarian, paleo or gluten free, which shows what I have always said: homemade food is the best food in the world!

To make this healthy yoghurt dip you need a few ingredients: Spinach, yoghurt, some spices, salt and pepper. This whole recipe comes together in less than 20 minutes and it tastes better the next day, which means you can make it in advance and I call that a big win!” Niki from Nikibakes.

Many thanks to Nikibakes for this tasty recipe.
