Cucumber Lime Dip - So simple, my 10 year old can make it!

That's right!  My kids love cooking with me, so I employed the power of my eldest to make the next recipe.  This is honestly one of the easiest and most delicious items I have ever made!  Eat it on crackers or use as a veggie dip.  I am eating it on a salad right now :)

 Cucumber Lime Dip


My son has everything ready -notice we do not have an onion....
the boys don't like them, so we are leaving them out.

Start with one package of room temperature cream cheese.  Cut your cucumber in half (both long and short way), so you have 4 parts.  Scoop the seeds out (the seeds hold the water and you don't want runny dip).  

Cut the cucumbers into cubes and place in your manual food processor.  
Give it a few hearty pushes to get that cucumber processed and add to the cream cheese.
Use your garlic press and add a few cloves of garlic to your cream cheese.
Then squeeze in the juice of a lime (as desired for taste).
The Pampered Chef citrus press is amazing, but we don't have that yet...so we did it by hand.


Mix, chill and serve!


Easy and Delicious!
Great to serve at BBQs this summer.

The Ginger Princess was not so impressed, but it gave all 3 of my boys (husband and 2 sons) BIG SMILES!
