Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Cucumber Dill Spread.
Step 1
Begin by placing cucumber chunks into a food processor and pulse them until they are finely minced.
Step 2
Next, transfer the minced cucumber and onion into a piece of cheesecloth.
Step 3
Gather the cloth and twist it to extract as much liquid as possible into a bowl, setting this liquid aside for later use.
Step 4
Make sure the food processor bowl is dry, then return the cucumber and onion mixture to it.
Step 5
Add in the softened cream cheese, dried dill, a dash of hot pepper sauce, green food coloring if desired, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
Step 6
Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 7
If the spread feels too thick, gradually incorporate the reserved cucumber liquid, one teaspoon at a time, until you achieve your preferred texture.
Step 8
You can enjoy this delightful spread right away, or let it chill in the refrigerator for a bit to enhance the flavors.
Step 9
This creamy concoction is perfect for gatherings, adding a refreshing twist to your appetizer table.
