FAQ

Is this recipe vegetarian/vegan?
It's vegetarian as written (yogurt tzatziki). To make it vegan, use plant-based yogurt and check pita ingredients.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, use gluten-free pita; ensure tzatziki ingredients are gluten-free (yogurt, cucumber, herbs are gluten-free by nature).
How should I store leftovers?
Refrigerate chickpea filling and tzatziki in airtight containers; store separately or assemble fresh; 1–2 days max.
Can I meal-prep this?
Yes — prep the chickpea filling and tzatziki in advance; warm pita and assemble just before eating.
What variations can I try?
Try chickpeas replaced by lentils; add tomato, red onion, olives, dill or mint; spice with cumin or paprika.
Is it good for gut health?

What if I don’t like tzatziki?
