Instructions

How to Make Garden Cucumber Dip

Prepare the Cucumbers. Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon before finely mincing the flesh.
2 English Cucumbers
Finely mince the onion.
2 Teaspoons Vidalia Onion
Place both in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible. This simple step keeps the finished dip thick and creamy instead of watery. Save a little of the cucumber juice in case you'd like to thin the dip later.
Mix the Base. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
16 Ounces Cream Cheese
Mix in the dill, garlic powder, salt, and hot sauce until evenly blended.
2 Dashes Hot Pepper Sauce, 2 Teaspoons Fresh Dill, ¾ Teaspoon Salt, 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Fold Everything Together. Stir the cucumber and onion into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
If you'd like a softer consistency, stir in a teaspoon or two of the reserved cucumber juice.
Chill. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to blend beautifully.

Notes

Homestead Tips

One thing every gardener learns is that cucumbers hold a surprising amount of water. Taking a few extra minutes to squeeze out that moisture makes all the difference. The dip stays thick, creamy, and won't separate after sitting in the refrigerator.
