Learn how to make delicious Cucumber Cream Cheese Crack Dip. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups diced cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

In my kitchen, substitutions are always welcome. If you’re out of fresh dill, a teaspoon of dried dill works in a pinch. Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a tangier twist, and if you’re feeling adventurous, add a handful of chopped mint for an extra layer of freshness.

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or a whisk if you prefer some arm workout.
  2. Add in the lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed.
  3. Gently fold in the diced cucumber, chopped dill, and green onions. If you’re using red pepper flakes, mix those in as well for a spicy kick.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Before serving, give the dip a quick stir and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill or extra green onions for a pop of color.

Mama Lou always taught me to taste as I go, an invaluable tip that has saved many dishes from the brink of disaster. Trust your palate, and don’t be afraid to make adjustments to suit your taste.
