Sour Cream, Cucumber and Dill Dip

This pizza is the perfect way to use up all of the T-day leftovers because it uses gravy as the sauce. Your favorite leftovers (stuffing, vegetables, sweet potato casserole, etc.) will determine the variety of topping combinations you can create. The crust also tastes delicious dipped in leftover cranberry sauce or spinach dip!

Tamara Hutchinson
Nope. Didnt work for me. Wayyy to much sour cream. Way way too much lemon juice. Had to put honey in to offset sourness. Too thin. Just no.
Brianna Thompson
Needs fresh garlic… too bland as is.
Evan Patterson
Excellent recipe……
Randy Jones
Loved it, will definitely make it again!
Dylan Pugh
I have made this several times and it is always a hit! This time I didn’t measure the lemon juice but just rolled a medium sized lemon until soft and then used the juice from it.
Samuel Sandoval
Good flavor but very soupy. I squeezed the heck out of the cucumber, so not sure why that happened. I think next time I’ll skip the cucumber. I think having chunks in dip is a little too off putting.
Elijah Kelley
I wish I had read the reviews first. 1/4 cup lemon juice is way to much for this recipe. Ruined the whole dip.
Rhonda Reid
This dip is easy and delicious!
Kyle Russell
Noone ate this.
Jeanette Watson
This is my new favorite dip! It was super easy, I did swap the 1 cup of fresh dill for 1/4 cup of dried.
Amy Williams
This is super easy, low fat, and delicious…Made as a sauce for shrimp tacos, enjoyed the rest as veggie dip! Refreshing for a hot summer day!!
Laura Acosta
This is the perfect solution for a person on a diet..its super light and delicious! also easy to make..i like cucumber so i didnt dry mine all the way and it still tasted amazing!

This is fast quick and easy. A Great alternative if you don’t have plain yogurt to make Tatziki. I added a little bit of mayo with olive oil and a teaspoon of minced garlice. I didn’t have fresh dill so I used dried. I also used reduced fat sour cream. I used this to top the Spinach and Feta Turkey burger (recipe can be found on this site) So good!
Amanda Moore
I had never made a dip with grated cucumber, but that is a wonderful tip. I salted the grated cucumber and let it drain for a few minutes in a colander, then squeezed it dry.
Ashley Duffy
Very good.
Brandon Watson
Quick and easy and still tastes great! I added some parmesan cheese.
Lawrence Kelly
This was a great light and refrshing dip. I served with traditional gyro meat from this site and thought it was great. Made no changes whatsoever. It did make a lot though! Next time I will probably cut in half. Thanks!

It’s OK; but it is just an Americanized version of the Greek Tzatziki – which uses Greek Yogurt, cucumber (Peeled, seeded and finely chopped), garlic, dill, and a tad of XVOO.

This recipe is almost identical to a salad that my husband grew up with in Germany. He uses dried dill and slices the cucumbers. We eat it often with fish and mashed potatoes. I had never thought of making a dip out of it – but that’s a great way to provide that fresh flavor we love in different way. Just a tip – to drain the water from the cucumbers so they don’t make the salad or dip watery – my husband sprinkles the cucumbers with quite a bit of salt and leaves it to pull the water out. Then drain the water off (I usually just put them in a colander to start and sit it over the sink). I’m not sure about the salt getting off of the shredded cucumbers, but it pretty much leaves with the cucumber juice so the cucumbers don’t end up being too salty – just skip the salt in the recipe.

This is delicious for sure & Perfect for summer. I added freshly ground pepper and garlic powder and also used sea salt. Don’t skimp on the lemon juice, it adds such a nice *zing* I took another’s advice to squeeze the shredded (unpeeled) cucumber between paper towels and this worked perfectly to keep it from getting too runny. I served this with carrots, celery and cucumber slices. Yummy!! I’ll make this often. Thanks!
Walter Simon
Delicious. Extremely refreshing! I think this would be great with pita chips and maybe carrots and cherry tomatoes.
