Refreshing end of summer cucumber dip


Some friends recently had us over for dinner where we were introduced to this wonderful appetizer, and I had to nearly force myself to be polite and refrain from eating half of the bowl all by myself. This creamy dip has a hint of cucumber in, making it a refreshing, flavorful addition to pita chips, bagel chips, or any herbed cracker. It's a refreshing, delicious, and easy appetizer perfect for these hot end of summer days.

This dip also makes a great spread for a veggie sandwich, and also as a light flavored salad dressing over fresh spinach and vegetables at lunch.

That sounds good! Think I'll pick up the ingredients and make it for Labor Day snacking. Thanks!

Yum! This reminds me a of a combination of two of my favorite appetizers: feta herb dip & tzatziki. It's still warm out- so, I'll have to make those again AND I definately want to try THIS now too. Thanks Nancy! Always great ideas!

Thanks for this, Nancy! Will make as an appetizer tonight as a prelude to spinach and mushroom quiche!
