Hidden Valley Greek Tzatziki Roasted Vegetables
With the holidays approaching I am always on the lookout for a new side dish. It seems I never have a problem planning what meat will be served, but having a creative and tasty side dish proves to be a greater challenge. Also, I am regularly asked to bring side dishes to holiday parties and having a food blog can cause people to expect something different or unique. Well, today I have a fun twist on roasted vegetables.
Hidden Valley has gone Greek and they sent me some of their new products. They have a Greek Tzatziki Dressing and a Greek Tzatziki Dips mix. They challenged me to come up with an original recipe using one of their new Greek products. This is exciting for me because I love the flavours of Greek cuisine.
At first I was going to make something with the dressing as there are so many options with it. But, then I decided to get creating with the Greek Tzatziki Dip. I use the Hidden Valley Ranch Mix all the time to make roasted potatoes, so I figured I could use that idea but mix it up. Instead of just roasting potatoes, I roasted a whole bunch of mixed vegetables. Potatoes, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, onions and peppers were all tossed with the Greek Tzatziki Dip mix and some olive oil. Then I spread them out in a roasting dish and put them in the oven for a good hour. Once the veggies were tender, I took them out and sprinkled some crumbled feta on top. OH YA! Gotta love crumbled feta.
The result was delicious.
