Preparation Steps
- Wash the English cucumbers thoroughly under cold water and thinly slice them into rounds, aiming for consistent thickness (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Place the cucumber rounds into a large strainer and sprinkle them generously with salt. Allow them to sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Rinse the cucumber slices under cold water to remove excess salt and moisture. Shake the strainer gently to remove water.
- In a blender, combine cream cheese, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, dried dill, and garlic powder. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the drained cucumber slices into a large mixing bowl. Pour the creamy dressing over them and toss gently.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes before serving to enhance flavor.
