Fresh Cucumber Dill Dip is the Southern inspired cousin to Greek tzatziki sauce. Serve the farm fresh flavors with veggies or chips for dipping, on those days you’re in the mood to snack.

Fresh Cucumber Dill Dip

This fresh cucumber dip is inspired by it’s Greek cousin Tzatziki sauce. The bright flavor is a real palate pleaser. When cucumbers are in abundance, it’s a given that this dip will show-up on my table. Fresh salads like my cherry tomato cucumber salad are fantastic healthy ways to enjoy summer bounty. Classic Greek tzatziki sauce wouldn’t include mayonnaise as an ingredient but, being a proud Southerner, it does make a sneak appearance in my dip. Mix this cucumber dill dip one day in advance and enjoy it as a quick between meal snack or light dinner with pita crisps and fresh vegetables for dipping.
Cucumber Dill Dip
  • Fresh dill has a milder flavor when compared to dried dill which has more intensity.
  • English cucumbers have less seeds than the typical variety found at the market. You may use either, just remove excess seeds when using the latter.
  • The flavored cream cheese adds a lovely creaminess and pop of flavor to the dip overall.
  • Allow ample time for the dip to chill so, the flavors can marry.
