Recipe Notes
Party Tips*
- This dip can be served right away but is best a few hours or the following day so make the night ahead and store in fridge.
- The best cucumbers are the Persian (long ones) you can find in any produce section. They have fewer seeds and the skin is much more palatable.
- This dip can can be used as a sauce on top or along side of meats or fish (like salmon).
