Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 green onions, trimmed and sliced
Dairy and Seasoning
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Chop the Vegetables: Add the peeled and chunked cucumber along with the sliced green onions to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse briefly until the vegetables are coarsely chopped, ensuring some texture remains and avoiding over-processing.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to the food processor. Process again just until all ingredients are combined, stopping before the mixture turns completely smooth to retain pieces of cucumber.
- Transfer and Chill: Scoop the mixture into a bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. This resting period allows the flavors to blend and deepen, improving the taste and texture.
Notes
- Be careful not to over-process the vegetables to maintain a pleasant texture.
- Chilling overnight is essential for flavor development and best results.
- Serve chilled as a spread on bread, crackers, or as a dip with fresh veggies.
- Use fresh and firm cucumbers for the best crispness.
