DILL AND CUCUMBER DIP
Steps:
- Chop cucumber into small bits and the spring onion finely. Then combine all ingredients except for the salt, into a bowl and chill for about one hour. You may want to add or lessen the amount of sour cream or miracle whip/mayo that you use depending on your own taste buds, I prefer miracle whip in this dip. Make sure to add salt at the last minute to avoid a watery dip - make sure to completely drain the water from the cukes! Yummy for your tummy. Let me know what you think, please.

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal.
- For a smoother dip, peel the cucumbers before grating them.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cucumbers and onion by hand.
- Be sure to drain the cucumbers well before adding them to the dip. This will help prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- For a thicker dip, add more mayonnaise or sour cream.
- For a tangier dip, add more lemon juice or vinegar.
- For a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as chips, vegetables, or crackers.
