Ingredients For Cucumber Onion Dip

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups peeled and finely chopped cucumber

Instructions:

  1. Begin by finely chopping your cucumber and onion. It’s important to chop them into small pieces so that they blend well with the rest of the dip.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and dried dill. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Add the chopped cucumber and onion to the mixture and stir well.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to marry together.
  5. When you’re ready to serve, give the dip a quick stir and place it in a serving dish. I love serving this dip with pumpernickel pretzels, but it’s also great with chips, crackers or fresh vegetables like carrots and celery.

Tips:

  • If you’re short on time, you can use a food processor to chop the cucumber and onion. This will save you a lot of time and effort.
  • If you prefer a smoother dip, you can blend the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and spices in a food processor before adding the cucumber and onion. This will give you a smoother texture.
  • You can make this dip in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure to give it a quick stir before serving.
  • Use the long “seedless” cucumbers. If using a regular cucumber, I recommend seeding them.

Cucumber onion dip is a great appetizer option for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or a fancy dinner party, this dip is sure to impress your guests. The combination of crunchy cucumber and savory onion with the creamy base is simply irresistible. Plus, it’s so easy to make that you can whip it up in no time.
