CUCUMBER CRACK RECIPE
Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread is perfect for bagels or crackers. Fresh cucumbers, green onions, Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese. If you are a fan of bagels and cream cheese or if you like to snack on crackers with somecreamy goodness smeared on top then you will really enjoy this spread. It’s very similar to Benedictine spread (just not as thin.) My friend Patti calls it “Cucumber Crack.” Ha!
IS IT LOW CARB OR KETO-FRIENDLY?
I make this quite often for myself and my girlfriends.It is great to snack on or you can make a meal with it by spreading it on a lightly toasted bagel and having it for lunch. It’s also a refreshing appetizer. And yes, it is low carb!My low carb friends enjoy eating it on low carb tortillas or even on zucchini slices.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)

- green onions
- cream cheese – see my post on How to Soften Cream Cheese Quickly

This is a great alternative to salads, etc. in the summer if you have an overabundance of cucumbers. Herb gardeners: I added fresh chives and dill (about 1 tsp. each.) This will be my go-to summer dip from now on – so refreshing!Reply
Love hearing that Melanie!! I wish I liked dill in this but I’ve tried it and I just don’t care for it but I think for this that really love dill then I can see how they would enjoy it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and comment!

I did add a little garlic powder and dill to it but it was also great without it as well, thank you for sharing this with us.

I have to say, when I made this last night, it didn’t taste as good. I read your strong recommendation to chill it overnight before eating, and I did that. I also added a tsp of dill seed (I didn’t have any regular dill).That did the trick. But tonight it’s great. My adult kids wanted to try it. They almost ate all of it! It’s so good.Reply
deliciousReply
Brandie, this stuff is the bomb stuffed inside mushrooms. Totally addicting.Reply
Donalene – that is flipping brilliant! I am totally trying that – thank you!!

I made this last night, but I over-processed the cucumbers and the finished product wasn’t thick enough.
So I tossed it with some pasta shells, shrimp, salmon, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, broccoli, cauliflower, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and black pepper for a filling but light meal. Delish! Thanks for the recipe! I’ll focus on *not* over-processing next time.Reply
Way to save the day! That actually sounds incredible!!

Great recipe for cucumber dip. I add dried dill weed which really adds to the flavor.Reply
My mother is lactose intolerant so I made this with a non-dairy cream cheese. It was delicious and everyone asked me for the recipe. Thank you!Reply
Hi Deborah! Thanks so much for mentioning about the non dairy cream cheese! So many people ask on recipes about substitutes and I’m not always sure what will taste good or what won’t so I appreciate that extra bit of info! So happy everyone enjoyed it!
