                    My late mother-in-law's recipe is a must at every gathering, even in the dead of winter for the Steeler/Penguin games. We have friends that don't like cucumbers, but they love this dip! You do need to use regular cream cheese and hand dice the vegetables. I have tried this with low-fat & no-fat cream cheese and a food procesor, but all of those make it soupy. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 large cucumber  |  
                                                2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (regular, anything less makes soup)  |  
                                                1/2 cup diced onion  |  
                                                3 tablespoons lemon juice (use (to taste)  |  
                                                1 -2 teaspoon salt (sea salt gives a better flavor) or 1 -2 teaspoon sea salt (sea salt gives a better flavor)  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Set out cream cheese in a mixing bowl to soften. 2. Dice cucumber and spread out on a paper towel (I usually put a paper plate underneath). 3. Set aside and dice the onion. 4. Add all ingredients to the cream cheese and blend thoroughly. 5. Chill in the refrigerator and serve with chips.                              |
