BENEDICTINE DIP
Benedictine is a creamy spread studded with chopped cucumbers. It was named in honor of Jennie Carter Benedict, a chef and restaurateur from Louisville, Kentucky, who created the condiment at the turn of the 20th century. Originally used for cucumber sandwiches, Benedictine is now commonly enjoyed as a cold dip for chips or spread on crackers. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

BEST BENEDICTINE SPREAD
This Louisville staple is an easy and refreshing cucumber spread or dip and can be served with almost anything you could imagine. Dipping club crackers or pita and French bread toast points are favorites, but carrot sticks and pretzels are great too. We use it for cucumber sandwiches, spread it onto our BLTs, and use it as a sauce on poached salmon. You can serve it immediately or refrigerate it to firm up and let the flavors meld.

Steps:
- Process cucumber chunks in a food processor until finely chopped. Put chopped cucumber and white onion in a piece of cheesecloth and twist to squeeze into a bowl as much liquid as possible from the vegetables, reserving the liquid.
- Assure the food processor bowl is dry before returning cucumber and onion mixture to the food processor. Add cream cheese, dill, hot pepper sauce, green food coloring, and cayenne pepper. Process the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor bowl a few times to make sure everything is integrated. If too thick, add reserved liquid a teaspoon at a time.

SISTERS TEA PARLOR BENEDICTINE
Benedictine tea sandwiches were a staple on the tea trays we served in our tea parlor. We often found ourselves explaining this regionally popular creamy spread to our guests, especially those new to the Louisville area. Benedictine is a dreamy, creamy concoction that's as cool as the cucumbers and as creamy as the cream cheese it's made with. England may have their delicate cucumber tea sandwiches, but tearooms in Kentucky have Benedictine tea sandwiches. Don't think, though, that this amazing spread is just for tea time. Oh, no. Benedictine is light and refreshing and makes a great dip for chips and veggies. Plus, spread it thick on a BLT and you will enter another stratosphere of flavor! Benedictine has an interesting history. The origin of most recipes is based more on lore and tradition than actual facts. Not so for our favorite cucumber spread; it's even named for its creator. It is well documented that Jennie Carter Benedict, affectionately known as Miss Jennie, created Benedictine sometime between 1893 and 1901. Her story is at the end of this post and it's really quite impressive.It was during the time she operated a restaurant and tearoom in Louisville that Miss Jennie developed the recipe. The funny thing is, she never shared her recipe, not even in her popular cookbook, The Blue Ribbon Cookbook! Perhaps it was a secret she wanted to keep to herself. There were five editions of her cookbook and it's not until the last edition printed in 2008 that a Benedictine recipe, researched to be close to the original, was finally included.Regardless of the hush around the original recipe, there are plenty of Benedictine recipes to be found. Our version at Sisters is rich and creamy with just the right balance of bright cucumber and sweet onion flavor. While the original recipe, and many other versions, use the juices of cucumbers and onions, our recipe calls for grated cucumber and onion powder. I find it gives the spread a manageable consistency for perfect Benedictine sandwiches.

JOLEAN'S SIMPLE BENEDICTINE DIP
This was a favorite of my Mom's....We kids liked to dip Ruffles potato chips in this, but my Mom used to spread it on buttery crackers...Usually, after a party (specifically Kentucky Derby parties), the next day I'd see my Mom spooning this onto a little plate and eating it just by itself! So tasty....So fresh!!! YUM!

Steps:
- Peel the English cucumber and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and discard. Grate in a food processor or by hand. Place the grated cucumber in a colander to drain. Grate the white onion and add it to the colander with the cucumber. Sprinkle the salt on top and lightly mix. Press down on the mixture to drain the excess liquid. Let sit for 10 minutes pressing every few minutes to drain. In the bowl of a mixer or food processor add the drained cucumber, onion, cream cheese, and cayenne pepper (or hot sauce). Beat or pulse until just combined. Add the two drops of food coloring and mix until well incorporated. This step is optional but will give you that traditional green color in Kentucky Benedictine. Place into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight if desired. Serve on bread with the crusts removed or serve with crackers.

BENEDICTINE SPREAD OR DIP
Benedictine is a very unique green cucumber flavored spread that was born in my native state, Kentucky. Benedictine and bacon tea sandwiches are traditional Derby Day fare. It is wonderfully cool and delicious, and is a great spread for appetizers and sandwiches. I especially love it with pumpernickel bread. It looks very pretty...
