This Cucumber Cream Cheese Dip recipe is not only easy, but it’s a really inexpensive appetizer to make! It’s a perfect snack dip recipe that also happens to be low carb!
If you’ve ever eaten a gyro and thought to yourself that you wish you could just eat the Greek tzatziki sauce with a spoon, then this easy cucumber and cream cheese dip is for you! It resembles the mild flavor of a traditional tzatziki dressing, but the cream cheese helps make it thicker, so it’s perfect for dipping!
One of the best parts of this recipe for cucumber dip cream cheese is that it’s easy to customize. If you don’t like onions, leave them out. If you prefer more dill, then add more dill! If you’re trying to stay a little healthier, then substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. Feel free to make it yours! The consistency might change a little with the substitutions, but the great flavor will pretty much stay the same!
How to Make Cucumber Cream Cheese Dip
This easy cucumber dip with cream cheese tastes even better if you make it the night before because then the flavors have a chance to really deepen and meld. I tasted it right after I made it one time and then had it again the next day after it had been sitting in the fridge. The difference in flavor really is incredible! Highly recommend making cucumber dip recipe with cream cheese ahead of time!
Ingredients for Cucumber Cream Cheese Dip
- 1 cucumber
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 green onions
- 1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. chopped, fresh dill
After you have it peeled, cut off the ends and discard. Next, I cut the cucumber in half lengthwise.
If you want, you can scoop out the seeds in the center. They don’t bother me at all, and I’m always a fan of “the easier, the better,” so I just leave them in. If you have large seeds, though, you might want to just take a quick scoop down the center with a spoon to remove them.
Then I start preparing my cucumber into slices. You want it to be pretty finely diced, so you aren’t getting any large chunks of cucumber in your dip.
Then trim your green onion and dice them up pretty fine as well. Set the diced cucumbers and green onions aside.
In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire, salt, and dill until it’s completely smooth. Fold in the diced cucumber and green onions until it’s combined well. Then cover and refrigerate overnight until it’s time to serve.
Is Cucumber Dip Low Carb?
YES!!! If you’re looking for an easy, no-bake keto appetizer, then this post is like hitting the jackpot! It literally checks every one of those points and tastes delicious too.
It’s actually one of my favorite recipes because it’s just naturally low in carbs without having to make any real adjustments. No one you serve it to will ever even have to know! And that’s pretty much true for a lot of dips. We love a hot shrimp & bacon dip pizza dip … and they’re both low carb without having to make any modifications!
Of course, if you’re looking for something low carb to snack on, you’re going to want to eliminate the tortilla chips as the dip vessel! Just use actual crisp cucumber slices or green pepper strips.
