Jim is back
Cyclops is delighted to welcome back Jim Small, the person who first developed our yoghurts way back in 1988. Today’s range of premium products all owe their origins to Jim’s invention of recipe and process.
When he started Cyclops Jim was charged with enthusiasm for making better yoghurt than what was available in New Zealand at the time. Coming from outside the dairy industry allowed him to innovate at an artisan level and effectively create the first premium yoghurt. Some of his early innovations were, thicker, Greek style yoghurt, fruit on top and transparent packaging. In the early 90’s Cyclops introduced the first genuine strained Greek yoghurt to the market.
Jim says the reason he is so happy to be back with Cyclops after a few years away is because of the new team that is in place. He says, “the food industry is about more than simply making the best quality product. It requires a lot of other skills and disciplines. The team in place now are highly skilled in what they do which allows me to concentrate on the product and the processes – as I have always loved to do. It’s my dream job!”

✨Chargrilled Summer Salad with Basil Yoghurt Dressing ✨
This chargrilled summer salad is a flavour-packed combination of smoky grilled vegetables, nutty buckwheat, and a creamy basil yoghurt dressing. Naturally gluten-free, it’s a perfect addition to summer BBQs or an easy meal prep option. The basil yoghurt dressing brings a refreshing, herby kick that ties it all together. Serve it as a vibrant main or a nourishing side—either way, it’s fresh, healthy, and bursting with flavour!
--Ingredients --
For the Salad🥗:
▪️2 tbsp olive oil, plus more if needed
▪️¾ cup buckwheat, rinsed
▪️2 ears sweetcorn, kernels removed
▪️2 large red capsicums, deseeded and cut into strips
▪️2 courgettes, sliced into half-moons
▪️200g cherry tomatoes, halved
▪️75g feta, crumbled
▪️2 cups rocket
For the Basil Yogurt Dressing 🌿:
▪️½ cup Cyclops Thick & Creamy Yoghurt
▪️2 tbsp basil pesto
▪️1 tbsp lemon juice
▪️Salt and pepper, to taste
-- Method --
▪️Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rinsed buckwheat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until just tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool.
▪️Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the sweetcorn, capsicums, courgette, and cherry tomatoes in individual batches, cooking until slightly charred but still firm. Add more olive oil as needed. Transfer to a plate, season with salt and pepper, and let cool slightly.
▪️In a small bowl, whisk together the yoghurt, pesto, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
▪️Assemble the salad in a serving bowl, by spreading out the cooked buckwheat. Arrange the grilled vegetables on top, then scatter over the feta and rocket. Drizzle with a little of the basil yogurt dressing, toss gently, and serve immediately with extra dressing alongside.
Enjoy!
