    **Note - The following lists of ingredients plus kitchen tools and equipment contain affiliate links (highlighted in blue) for your consideration and shopping convenience. #CommissionsEarned

    • cucumber
    • dill pickles
    • Greek yogurt
    • mayonnaise
    • prepared horseradish
    • red onion
    • Dijon mustard
    • garlic powder
    • fresh dill (dried dill weed will also work)
    • salt and pepper

    Kitchen tools and equipment needed:

    • chef's knife
    • cutting board
    • measuring cups and spoons
    • teaspoon
    • box grater
    • mixing bowls
    • paper towels or clean kitchen towel
    • wooden spoon or spatula

    Tip for the best thick and creamy cucumber dill dip:

    Since cucumbers are largely made up of water the key to keeping this dip thick and creamy (and not watery), is to squeeze as much water as possible from the cucumber once it's shredded.

    Directions for how to do this can be found in the photo tutorial instructions below.

    You'll be amazed how much water is released from the cucumber that would have made your dip thin and runny!

    Don't waste that cucumber water!!

    And, instead of washing all the delicious cucumber water down the drain, why not make a glass of Cucumber Lime Fitness Water by adding the cucumber juice to a glass of ice water, along with a sprig of fresh dill?

    Ahhh. Talk about refreshing!

    Other uses for cucumber dill dip:

    • baked potato topping
    • sandwich spread
    • tartar sauce for seafood
    • sauce for making potato salad

    The easy instructions:

    • Slice a large cucumber in half and scoop out the seeds (or use and English cucumber and skip this step).
    • Shred the cucumber on a box grater.
    • Place the shredded cucumber on a clean dish towel or several layers of paper towel.

    Save this for later.

    How to make cucumber dill pickle dip.

    • Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir well to combine.
    • Chill at least 2 hours and serve with assorted crackers, chips or vegetables.

    Notes

    If using English cucumbers, there is no need to remove the seeds.

      I can't get over how delicious the addition of dill pickles to this dip is! My garden produces about a dozen cucumbers everyday so this dip needs to happen soon!
