Notes
The more time this dip has to chill is better as chilling it gives it time for the flavor to intensify. It helps the cucumber release it's flavor and extract the oils from the fresh dill and garlic.
If the cream cheese isn't softened or at room temperature, you'll notice some clumps stick around when you mix it. If you forgot to leave the cream cheese out on the counter, there are a few simple ways you can soften cream cheese quickly.
After peeling and dicing the cucumber, you'll notice the diced cucumbers are very wet. It's recommended you use a paper towel to pat dry the cucumbers as much as possible before transferring them to the dip mixture to avoid a runny dip.
