Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I make this ahead?

Yes! Prep 1 day ahead, but press plastic wrap directly on the mash to prevent browning. Add lemon juice to preserve freshness.

Is avocado tzatziki keto-friendly?

Absolutely! With 6g net carbs per serving and healthy fats, it fits keto macros (use full-fat yogurt).

How do I store leftovers?

Refrigerate in an airtight container for 1–2 days. The avocado may darken slightly but is still safe to eat.

Can I use dairy-free yogurt?

Yes! Unsweetened coconut or almond yogurt works. Avoid flavored varieties.

Why squeeze cucumber liquid?

Excess water dilutes flavor and makes the mash runny. Dry cucumber ensures a creamy texture.

Is this high in protein?

Greek yogurt adds 4g protein/serving. Boost protein by mixing in chickpeas or hemp seeds.

Is this safe for diabetics?

Yes! Low sugar (2g/serving), high fiber (6g), and healthy fats help stabilize blood sugar.
