FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

It’s best served fresh, but you can prep all the ingredients (except avocado) a few hours in advance. Add avocado just before serving.

How do I keep the avocado from browning?

Use vinegar or lemon/lime juice and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip.

Is this dip spicy?

No, it’s mild. Add chili or jalapeño for a spicy variation.

Can I use pre-crumbled feta?

Block feta is best for texture and flavor, but crumbled feta works in a pinch.

What should I serve with this dip?

Pita chips, tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or crusty bread are all great options.

Can I use cherry tomatoes instead of Roma?

Yes, just slice or quarter them and remove some of the seeds to reduce excess moisture.

Is this dip vegan?

No, it contains feta cheese. For a vegan version, use a dairy-free feta alternative.

Can I use lime juice instead of vinegar?

Yes, lime juice pairs well with avocado and adds a bright, fresh flavor.

Can this dip be used as a spread?

Absolutely! It’s delicious on toast, wraps, sandwiches, or even grilled meat.

Avocado naturally browns over time, but vinegar and proper storage will help slow the process.
