Notes

  • You could add some crumbled goats cheese for extra flavour and creaminess.
  • Add some extra protein by throwing in some cooked chickpeas or lentils, but still keeping it vegetarian.
  • Make extra pita chips and dip them in hummus and tzatziki.
  • Use the best quality olive oil that you can afford. It really makes a difference to the taste of the dressing.
  • Add some extra flavour and colour by sprinkling some pomegranate on just before serving.
