Hope your enjoying this beautiful Indian Summer as much as I am. If you're a fan of cucumbers and you're looking to make a new dip for that next patio party, you should try this classic favorite from the folks in Louisville, KY. It's called Benedictine, named after Benedict's restaurant. You can buy it at just about any grocery store there.
To make roughly one pint you'll need:
8 oz. cream cheese, preferably Gina Maries, which has no gums or thickeners
1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced in 1/2 inch pieces
2 Tbs. minced onion or shallot
2-3 Tbs. mayo
salt to taste
a few drops of green food coloring (optional)
Just throw everything together in the food processor and make it smooth, then chill for a couple of hours. Serve it up with your fave crackers, pita chips, etc.
