Can I make mini tzatziki boats ahead of time?

You can prep the components separately - mix the sauce and scoop the cucumbers up to 4 hours early. But assemble them right before serving to keep that perfect crunch!

Are these gluten-free?

Absolutely! All the ingredients are naturally gluten-free. Just double-check your yogurt brand if you're super sensitive.

What's the best cucumber for this recipe?

English or Persian cucumbers work best - their thin skins don't need peeling and they're less watery. Regular cukes work too, just peel them first!

Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

Fresh dill really makes the flavor pop, but in a pinch, use 1 tsp dried dill. Just let the sauce sit 10 minutes so flavors bloom.

How do I keep them from getting soggy?

The secret? Pat those cucumber cups dry before filling, and don't let them sit assembled too long. Easy peasy!
