Feta Guacamole

This Feta Guacamole comes together in about 10 minutes and adds a salty, tangy twist to the usual avocado dip! The base is creamy mashed avocado mixed with lime juice, Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt, but what makes it stand out is the addition of feta crumbles. You get bright citrus, a little heat, and bold flavor in every bite.
It works great as a dip for chips, a topping for tacos or grain bowls, or even spread onto sandwiches. The feta holds its shape, so you get bites of creamy cheese throughout instead of it fully blending in. It stores well for a day or two if you press plastic wrap directly on top to keep it from browning!

Commonly Asked Questions
How do I keep the guacamole from turning brown?
Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before sealing the container. This keeps air out and helps preserve the color for a day or two in the fridge.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can mash and mix it a few hours in advance, but it’s best served the same day. If making ahead, hold off on adding the cilantro until just before serving.
What kind of Greek yogurt should I use?
Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt for the right texture and flavor. A full-fat version gives a creamier result, but any variety works.
Is this good for more than just chips?
Definitely. Spoon it over tacos, bowls, enchiladas, or nachos. The feta adds enough flavor to stand up to more than just tortilla chips.
How long does it last in the fridge?
Stored properly in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed on top, it stays good for up to two days. After that, the color and texture start to change.

Nutrition
I keep coming back to this guac because it’s simple but way more interesting than the usual version. The feta and lime give it a nice edge, and it works with just about anything I’m eating. It’s also one of those dips that somehow always gets finished first. Definitely one to keep in the rotation.
