A cool and creamy dip made with smooth cream cheese, crisp cucumber, and fresh herbs, perfect for serving with crackers, vegetables, or as a flavorful spread.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup finely diced cucumber (seeds removed if watery)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature until smooth and easy to mix.
  2. Finely dice the cucumber and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until creamy and smooth.
  4. Stir in diced cucumber, dill, chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop before serving.

Notes

  • Remove cucumber seeds and pat dry to prevent excess moisture.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier flavor.
  • Add lemon zest for extra brightness.
  • Stir before serving if liquid separates slightly.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; do not freeze.
