Benedictine is a creamy, flavorful spread or dip originating from Louisville, Kentucky, and is often associated with Southern cuisine. Traditionally made with cream cheese, cucumber juice, and onion, it may also include a touch of mayonnaise and green food coloring for signature appeal. This refreshing dish is commonly used as a sandwich spread or served as a dip alongside vegetables and crackers. Its cucumber base offers hydrating and low-calorie properties, while cream cheese provides a source of protein and calcium. However, Benedictine’s rich texture comes from its higher fat content, making it a calorie-dense option when consumed in large amounts. Moderation is key to enjoying Benedictine as part of a balanced diet. Ideal for parties or light snacking, this heritage recipe represents a fusion of simplicity and indulgence in American culinary tradition.
