Ingredients

• 1 medium cucumber
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 stalks green onion
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp dried dill
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Grate the cucumber using a box grater and place it in a sieve or cheesecloth.

Step 2

Gently squeeze the grated cucumber to remove as much moisture as possible. Lay it on a few layers of paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Thinly slice the green onions, using both the white and green parts, and add them to the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5

Add the drained cucumber, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as preferred, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your taste.

Step 7

Transfer the Benedictine spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled with low-carb crackers, raw vegetables, or as a spread on low-carb bread or wraps.
