FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

I recommend preparing it just before serving for the best texture and flavor. If you need to prep ahead, slice the cucumbers and keep the ingredients separate, combining them when ready to eat.

What can I use instead of avocado lime ranch dressing?

You can use ranch, Caesar dressing, or even a homemade yogurt-based dressing as a substitute.

Is this snack gluten-free?

Yes, as long as your seasonings and dressing are gluten-free, this snack is naturally gluten-free.

Can I use other vegetables?

Absolutely! Try adding cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or thinly sliced radishes for variety.

How can I make this vegetarian?

Skip the chicken or turkey and use plant-based proteins like tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas instead.
