Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs. cream cheese
  • 4 large cucumbers, or 6 small
  • 1 tsp. onion juice, or more to taste
  • 1 tsp. salt, or more to taste
  • 3-4 dashes of Crystal Hot Sauce

Preparation

  1. Soften cream cheese to room temperature. Peel the cucumbers, leaving a little bit of skin on for color. Puree them in a food processor and squeeze as dry as possible in cheese cloth. (The cucumber juice is delicious in a Bloody Mary or chilled with a splash of lemon and vodka.)
  2. To make the onion juice, grate ¼ of a peeled onion on a cheese grater and squeeze the juice out with a cheese cloth. 
  3. Combine all ingredients together and adjust seasoning, to taste.
