  1. YUMMMMM. No need to enter me in the giveaway but gosh does this recipe look tasty. Dill-cucumber is a killer combo – I love putting a dip like this on EVERYTHING – sandwiches! Vegetables! Pizza? Maybe. 😉

    1. Oh man, Jessie. I bet you’re right.. this dill cucumber dip would be AMAZING on those little pizza bites that people serve as appetizers. Or those dainty finger sandwiches that people serve at baby showers. YUM!

  2. 5 stars
    I checked out all the recipes, couldn’t find a loser in the bunch!
