Ingredients

2 English cucumbers (peeled, seeded, and cut into 5 cm chunks)
2 tbsp minced white onion
225 g cream cheese, softened
0.5 tsp dried dill
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
1 drop green food coloring, or as needed
cayenne pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1
In a food processor, finely chop the cucumber chunks. Place the chopped cucumber and white onion in a cheesecloth, twist to squeeze out as much liquid as possible, and reserve the liquid.
Step 2
Ensure the food processor bowl is dry, then return the cucumber and onion mixture to the processor. Add cream cheese, dill, hot pepper sauce, green food coloring, and cayenne pepper. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. If too thick, add reserved liquid a teaspoon at a time.
Step 3
Serve immediately or refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld.
