Common Questions
Is a feta cucumber dip the same as tzatziki?
Ours is a tzatziki-style dip: we start with reduced fat Greek yogurt, then blend in Neufchatel and feta, plus cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, dill, sea salt and black pepper. Traditional tzatziki is strained yogurt with grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon or vinegar, and herbs such as dill or mint. Shoppers who compare it to tzatziki say the feta gives it a richer, more elevated twist. It is also thicker and creamier than a thin yogurt sauce, with some chunks of cucumber and feta.
What's a lighter creamy dip made with Greek yogurt?
Our Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip is a creamy dip that lists reduced fat Greek yogurt as its first ingredient. Greek yogurt is a common swap for sour cream or mayo when people want a lighter dip, because it stays thick and tangy with less fat. A 2 tbsp serving of ours has 40 calories, 2.5g total fat (1.5g saturated), 2g carbohydrate, and 1g total sugars with 0g added sugars. Shoppers like that the yogurt base adds protein, which comes to 3g per serving.
What can I use instead of mayo on a sandwich or wrap?
Our Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip works as a sandwich or wrap spread, and some shoppers use it in place of mayo. We suggest spreading it on pita or wraps. A yogurt-and-cheese spread like this one brings tang and herbs along with the creaminess, which suits chicken, turkey and veggie wraps. Ours gets that flavor from cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice and feta.
What can I eat Good Foods Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip with besides chips and veggies?
We like our Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip spooned over grilled chicken or spread on pita and wraps, as well as served as a veggie dip. Shoppers stir it into salads, pasta salad, grilled chicken bowls and rice bowls, and one paired it with lox. For dipping, people reach for pita chips, cucumber slices, crackers and tortilla chips. We think of it as a palate opener for spring and summer, and shoppers call it a summer fridge staple.
Does Good Foods Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip contain gums or thickeners?
Yes, our Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip has xanthan gum added to the dip, and the Neufchatel cheese in it contains guar gum, carob bean gum and xanthan gum. The reduced fat Greek yogurt contains pectin. Stabilizers like these are standard in cream cheese and dairy dips to keep the texture consistent. A few shoppers would rather skip the gums or find the texture a bit cream-cheese-like.
Is Good Foods Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip salty or heavy on dill?
The dill in our Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip is strong, which dill lovers enjoy and others tend to pass on. Some shoppers also find it quite salty. A 2 tbsp serving has 160mg sodium, which comes from the feta, the Neufchatel and the sea salt we add. Unsalted dippers such as cucumber slices or raw veggies balance the salt.
Why is Good Foods Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip watery when I open it?
Our Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip can look a bit watery when you first open it, and a quick stir fixes it. Yogurt naturally releases some whey as it sits, and cucumber gives off water, so a little liquid on top is normal for a yogurt-and-cucumber dip.
