Description
Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread is a light, creamy, and refreshing dip or spread made with fresh cucumber, green onions, cream cheese, and a touch of Worcestershire sauce. Perfect for bagels, crackers, or sandwiches, it’s ideal for breakfast, brunch, or entertaining.
Ingredients
½ cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
3 green onions
8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel and chop the cucumber into chunks. Trim and slice the green onions.
- Place the cucumber and green onions in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped—do not over-process.
- Add the softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to the food processor.
- Pulse until just combined, keeping the texture slightly chunky.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld.
- Serve chilled with bagels, crackers, or bread.
Notes
- Use English cucumbers for less moisture and fewer seeds.
- Refrigerating overnight is essential for the best flavor.
- Use a paper towel to blot moisture from cucumber before processing.
- Can be mixed with an electric mixer if you don’t have a food processor.
- Not suitable for freezing due to texture change in cream cheese.
- Try adding garlic, herbs, or diced vegetables for variations.
