We have so many cucumbers right now! The garden is prolific.
This dip sounded like a great way to use several of them. I always am looking for things I can serve on football Sundays.
Soaking the cucumber in the vinegar and garlic salts does a few things. First, it infuses the cucumber with a little of the saltiness and garlic flavor. It also pickles them ever so slightly.
I did not use a sour cream sauce mix. Frankly, I couldn’t find one. So I used sour cream mixed with a small amount of milk to keep it loose.
I beat the cream cheese with the sour cream until it was quite smooth. I think doing this first helped, the cucumbers were not crushed by the beating process.
The dip was very nice. It was cool and crisp. I served it with a veggie tray (with more cucumbers!). It was a great addition to our Sunday football spread.
