Got cucumbers?

If you have a garden full of cucumbers you're looking to use up, make this dip immediately! Even if you don't have a garden full of cucumbers, run to the grocery store to get the ingredients and still make it:) It is delicious. It's like a cross between dill dip and the yummy cucumber sauce you get with gyros. I actually don't have any cucumbers in my own garden, but we have several friends who do, so we have had a steady flow of cucumbers being given to us and many of them have gone into batches of this dip. These are the only ingredients you need, plus salt-100% all natural:)

16 oz. container sour cream, 16 oz container plain non-fat greek yogurt, 2 large cucumbers, a big bunch of dill, one bunch of green onions, and salt.

Directions

1. Peel, scoop the seeds out from and dice the cucumbers into tiny pieces. Place them in a bowl, heavily salt them, and set aside. The salt draws out the extra water in them so the dip doesn't get water and also any bitterness they may have.

2. Combine the sour cream and yogurt in a large bowl.

3. Finely chop the dill to make 3 heaping tablespoons and add to the sour cream mixture. The large bunch of dill in the picture was the perfect amount.

4. Finely shop the green onions and add to the bowl.

5. Put the chopped, seeded, salted cucumbers in a mesh strainer and rinse them very well to get all of the extra salt off. Next place them on a dry, clean kitchen towel, bring the edges up to form a pouch around them and wring them out over the sink as hard as you can. Water will come gushing out! After they are wrung out of all excess moisture, add them to the dip.

6. Stir it all together and then add salt to taste.

The dip is really good with veggies, pita chips, grainy tortilla chips and regular chips. This makes a huge batch if you make the whole recipe. I made it for a lunch party with about 10 people and still had a good amount of leftovers. We used some of the leftovers in bacon chicken wraps-Yum!! You can halve it too if you don't have any events coming up with a large crowd to help you eat it up.
