Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 medium cucumber
2 -3 green onions

2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumber and cut in chunks. If it's got a lot of big seeds, scoop some out and discard. Put it in a food processor and chop fine. If it's really moist, or you didn't seed it, then you may want to squeeze off some of the excess juice.
  • Put the onion in the processor and chop. Add the rest of the ingredients. Process, scrape down the sides, and process again until smooth.
  • I like it best on soft, white bread. But it's also great on crackers.
