Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 medium cucumbers (diced)
1 spring onion
3/4 cup - Miracle Whip or Mayo
3/4 cup sour cream
3 TBSP dill weed
salt and pepper
dash of cayenne
dash of fresh lemon juice
veggies (Carrots, celery, radishes, etc)

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:

For the best flavor, use fresh cucumbers and dill.
If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried dill.
To make the dip ahead of time, cover it and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Serve the dip with pita chips, vegetable crudités, or crackers.
For a creamy dip, add 1/2 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
For a spicy dip, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
For a tangy dip, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
For a smoky dip, add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
