FAQs

Can I prepare this snack in advance?

I recommend preparing it fresh for the best texture, but you can slice the cucumbers and chop the turkey ahead of time. Store them separately and assemble right before serving.

What can I use instead of avocado lime ranch dressing?

You can use plain ranch, Greek yogurt with lime juice, or a creamy Caesar dressing as alternatives.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely! Feta, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack all work well and add their own unique flavors.

How can I make this snack more filling?

You can add boiled eggs, quinoa, or a handful of chickpeas to make this snack more substantial.

What’s the best way to slice the cucumbers?

I prefer slicing them into 1/4-inch rounds for an easy-to-eat size. You can also cut them into sticks if serving as finger food.
