This light, refreshingly-cool cucumber dip is the perfect companion for your summer veggies.
Often times dips can be heavy and overly rich, especially if they are made with cream cheese. This Cucumber Dip strikes the perfect balance between creamy and light.
It goes together in minutes and can be taken to picnics, topped onto falafel, served on an appetizer platter with your favorite veggies. It also makes a refreshing complement to summer BBQ, like a good grilled burger.
Along with a new garden this year, we planted a few cucumber plants along our fence. They are just beginning to produce some nice sized cucumbers. This Cucumber Dip was a perfect recipe to use a couple fresh cucumbers.
The dip is a little zingy from the lemon juice and has a little crunch from the cucumbers. It also has sour cream, and if you use a light version it will cut down on the calories even more. And I used Hellmann’s Olive Oil mayonnaise which is also better for you.
