Dip Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty dip recipe.

  • cream cheese
  • sour cream
  • fresh seedless cucumber
  • fresh dill is preferred but you can use dried dill weed
  • salt and pepper (I used pink Himalayan salt for the added mineral benefits)

Recipe Prep

If using fresh cucumber and dill from the garden harvest early in the morning for the freshest flavors.

Step 1: Peel, (deseed if needed) slice and dice the cucumber into to small cubes. You can check out my youtube video on how to deseed a cucumber.

Step 2: Strip the dill leaves from the thick stems. Use a sharp knife to finely mince the fresh dill.

Recipe Expert Tips

These recipe tips will help you make a delicious cucumber and dill dip using fresh ingredients.

  • Fresh cucumber: If using a cucumber variety remove the seeds.
  • Dill: Fresh dill is always best for a dill flavored dip recipe but if you don't have any on hand you can use dried dill weed. Taste and adjust the amount when using dried dill.
  • Cream cheese: I like the flavor of full fat cream cheese but you can use a low fat cream cheese.
  • Sour cream: Fresh cucumber will add moisture to the dip so I like to use a thicker sour cream that will help keep this dip very thick.
  • Salt and pepper: You can adjust the salt and pepper if needed after the dip has been refrigerated.

Recipe Substitutions

  • sour cream: you may substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream in the dip recipe.
  • cream cheese: low fat cream cheese can be used.
  • dried dill weed: you may substitute dried dill weed for the fresh dill. Dried dill is much stronger in flavor than fresh dill. Start by adding 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed and taste. Adjust as needed.

Recipe Tips & Substitutions
  • Fresh cucumber: You can skip deseeding the cucumber if you are using a cucumber with no seeds or very small seeds.
  • Fresh or dried Dill: Fresh dill is always best for a dill flavored dip recipe but if you don't have any on hand you can use dried dill weed. Taste and adjust the amount when using dried dill. Start with 1 teaspoon and adjust. 
  • Cream cheese: I like the flavor of full fat cream cheese but you can use a low fat cream cheese.
  • Sour cream: Fresh cucumber will add moisture to the dip so I like to use a thicker sour cream that will help keep this dip very thick.
  • Sour cream: plain yogurt for the sour cream in the dip recipe instead of sour cream.
  • Salt and pepper: You can adjust the salt and pepper if needed after the dip has been refrigerated.
