Avocado Tzatziki Dip
We often say that all of our products have a story to tell. This is the story of Trader Joe’s Avocado Tzatziki Dip (that’s zaht-ZEE-kee), by way of a classic: our original TJ’s Tzatziki Dip.
Once upon a time, one of our favorite domestic fresh foods suppliers traveled to Greece in search of unique foods that weren’t readily available in the U.S. What they found was Tzatziki, a creamy garlic-cucumber-mint dip that’s part of the fabric of Greek cuisine, and they worked closely with our Buyers to recreate a version exclusively for Trader Joe’s, made with Greek yogurt, which we’ve been selling ever since.
Fast-forward some twenty-plus years to the present. Many things have changed, but not our Customers’ love of Tzatziki. So our Buyer had a thought: why not combine this TJ’s classic with something new? Perhaps, she thought, with a food that’s rich and creamy, filled with healthy fats, and seemingly hipper than ever: the avocado.
She tinkered with the recipe for months—settling on a 30% freshly diced avocado base and ultimately adding some diced jalapeños to the list of inclusions—and new Trader Joe’s Avocado Tzatziki Dip is the [tangy, creamy, and totally addictive] fruit of her labor.
Trader Joe’s Avocado Tzatziki is a super dip for veggies, chips, or TJ's Spud Crunchies. It’s perfect for pita. And it’s surprisingly scrumptious on salads and in sandwiches. Use it just as you would “regular” Tzatziki or “regular” guacamole.
