IS IT LOW CARB OR KETO-FRIENDLY?
I make this quite often for myself and my girlfriends. It is great to snack on or you can make a meal with it by spreading it on a lightly toasted bagel and having it for lunch. It’s also a refreshing appetizer. And yes, it is low carb! My low carb friends, they enjoy eating it on low carb tortillas or even on zucchini slices.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
cucumber
green onions
cream cheese
Worcestershire sauce
salt
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE CUCUMBER CREAM CHEESE SPREAD:
To make in the food processor: trim away roots from base of green onion, place in food processor. Add cucumber to food processor bowl.
Cover and process until coarsely chopped (DON’T OVERPROCESS!)
Add cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Cover and process until smooth.
Transfer to a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight for flavors to blend. 
Note: If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop the cucumber and the green onions. In a medium bowl combine cucumber, green onions, softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight for flavors to blend (for best flavor.) 
Serve on a toasted bagel or with crackers. Cook’s Notes: You can use as little or as much cucumber you like in this.

MOM’S VINEGAR CUCUMBER SALAD
CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD
Yummm….!.always looking for more ways to use cucs in the summertime. Great and will share with a co-worker who loves cucs too
Really good and refreshing
This would make FANTASTIC cucumber sandwiches! Pinned. Trying soon.
It totally would!! Thanks Mary!
Is there a timeframe of how long it should last refrigerated? Was thinking of making a couple days ahead of a lake trip.
Hi Angie, I would only make it a day ahead if possible. Make sure you salt your cucumbers to draw the water out (in a colander.) Rinse them well and then chop. This will keep your spread from turning water-y as it sits in the fridge. 🙂
I added a tsp of fresh dill— yummy!
Great addition! Thanks so much Julie!
We call this Benedictine in Kentucky! Haven’t tried your recipe but know it’s yummy stuff.
I have everything but the onions. Could dried onion flakes or fresh minced yellow onion be used instead?
It depends. The onion can really overwhelm the other flavors if you’re not careful. The green onion adds just the right amount of flavor and color without making it too onion-y.
Easy & So YUMMY!!! Perfect for a go to last minute Lady’s Light Luncheon! ????????
Yay! Thanks so much Melissa!!
Looks like a simple appetizer for parties and really just any time!! A wonderful pre-dinner snack. Thanks for sharing!!! Will definitely make it soon!!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do Alecia!
Hi, I used this recipe for breakfast . Added grated cucumber bit more after removing the juice of cucumber.aded less cheese but more of hung curd. Served like sandwich. It was really very tasty. Great receipes????
This is delicious. My mom adds 1/2 – 1 cup of chopped pecans and a little lemon juice. I am serving for a ladies happy hour this afternoon.
I absolutely love this recipe and so does my family! I started making this many many years ago from a local farmers we get our produce from. He and his wife have been making this since their own kids were small but I’ve never added the worcherscire. It does make a difference!! I also add tiny bites of red peppers. It adds some color and slight sweetness. Not a lot. Just enough! Thank you for bringing it back to us! I had forgotten about it because my kids are now grown up and I haven’t fixed it in quite some time. You brought a smile to my face
This makes me so happy Suzy! Is there anything better than a really great food memory?!?! Thank you so, so much!!
All my friends at book club loved this!
Yum! So great!
