CUCUMBER DIP Camie Oakey

1 - 12oz pkg of cream cheese
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 or 3 green onions chopped finely (only the white part)
1 cucumber peeled and chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp accent
1/8 tsp garlic salt
pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together (it will be really thick at first) and chill overnight. The juice from the cucumbers will help thin it out. If you think it is still too thick, add a little bit of milk to help thin it out.

I usually double this recipe to make enough for a larger group. This dip is great with potato chips or vegetables.
