Easy Cucumber Dill Dip

This Easy Cucumber Dill Dip is cool, creamy and has a touch of sriracha sauce for extra kick. Serve it with fresh veggies for a delicious appetizer!

I found this recipe for cucumber dill dip in my grandma’s huge collection of recipes, and I finally got around to trying it out. I love a good dip recipe — chip dips, veggie dips — it doesn’t really matter. I love them all! My grandmother made everything from scratch, but my mom usually bought dips from the store.

My kids love dipping chips and veggies as much as I do, so I started making my dips from scratch. In fact, this is how I got them to start liking raw fruits and veggies! Homemade dips are really easy to make, and they taste way better than anything you can get from the store.

I love cucumbers, and I absolutely love the fresh flavor of dill — the scent is intoxicating! So when I found this cucumber dill dip recipe, I knew I had to try it ASAP!

This dip recipe is super easy, and you probably have most of the ingredients you need already. I like to keep cucumbers on hand for snacking, so I only had to buy some fresh dill.

Originally, I meant to follow the recipe as closely as possible, but as usual, I ended up changing a few things. Instead of using scallions, I added dried minced onions. I just think they add more flavor. I also used one large cucumber instead on two medium ones, and I added some sea salt.

And finally, I added sriracha sauce instead of the hot pepper sauce mentioned in the original recipe. Since this is a retro recipe, I’m thinking that most people would have used Tabasco Sauce or something like it. But since I had sriracha on hand, that’s what I used.

Actually, the sriracha adds just the tiniest bit of heat, so it’s more of a flavor boost. It just gives the dip a little something extra, know what I mean? So if you’re thinking it might be too spicy, don’t worry. My kids had no problem with it!

I cut up some fresh veggies and added a few crackers to go with the dip, and I served it to the kids for an after school snack. They loved it!
