About
Greek tzatziki has been adapted to suit those following an Eco-Keto diet plan by swapping out the Greek yoghurt for avocado to make this Keto-friendly snack.
It’s still made with the same great tasting ingredients of grated cucumber, garlic and fresh dill, and apple cider vinegar is added to lift the flavours.
What can I serve this with?
This dip can be enjoyed as part of a healthy Eco-Keto diet by adding to lettuce wraps, as a dip to your favourite savory Keto snacks like veggie crudités or Keto crackers. A personal favourite is as a side to these Greek zucchini fritters:
Does this keep well?
This will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2-3 days, but best eaten on the day of making as the top layer of the avocado will begin to brown. This is normal and if this happens, just give it a stir and serve.
Can I make this with dairy?
If you are tolerating some dairy in your Keto plan, you can make the traditional version by swapping out the avocado for full-fat Greek yoghurt or try with a 50:50 mixture of greek yoghurt and cream cheese for higher fat content.
Ingredients
- 6 oz avocado, black skin (hass)
- 2 oz cucumber, raw, with peel
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dill weed, fresh
Instructions
- Shred the cucumber using the coarse side of a cheese grater and place into a sieve over a bowl. Sprinkle it with sea salt and massage it in. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to drain its liquid. Use your hands or the back of a wooden spoon to press out even more liquid. Discard the liquid.
- Chill the avocado in the fridge before blending in a blender or food processor. Roughly chop the dill and mince the garlic. To a large bowl, add the blended avocado, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, apple cider vinegar and olive oil.
- Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together by hand with a spoon or a whisk. It will resemble the texture of smooth guacamole. You can adjust the taste to your liking with more dill, garlic or vinegar.
- Drizzle more olive oil over the top. For extra presentation points, garnish with a fresh sprig of dill or an olive. Serve immediately or keep in the fridge before serving.
