CUCUMBER CRACK RECIPE
Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread is perfect for bagels or crackers. Fresh cucumbers, green onions, Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese. If you are a fan of bagels and cream cheese or if you like to snack on crackers with some creamy goodness smeared on top then you will really enjoy this spread. It’s very similar to Benedictine spread (just not as thin.) My friend Patti calls it “Cucumber Crack.” Ha!
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 enjoy eating it on low carb tortillas or even on zucchini slices.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- cucumber
- green onions
- cream cheese – see my post on How to Soften Cream Cheese Quickly
- Worcestershire sauce
- salt
HOW 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.)

This would have been the perfect recipe to have on hand when my neighbor informed me of a craving for cucumbers. I could have whipped this up. Thankfully I will have this on hand for the next time a hankering for cucumbers comes up. Yummy!
It would also make great finger sandwiches for a party or shower.
It's been so long since I've had a bagel. Cream cheese and cucumber sounds like a great combination.
