Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: English or Persian cucumbers are best for this mousse, as they have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
  • Peel the cucumbers: Peeling the cucumbers will help to create a smoother mousse.
  • Use fresh dill: Fresh dill is essential for this recipe. Do not use dried dill, as it will not have the same flavor.
  • Chill the mousse before serving: Chilling the mousse for at least 30 minutes before serving will help it to set and firm up.
  • Serve the mousse with your favorite crackers or vegetables: Cucumber dill mousse is a great appetizer or snack. Serve it with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or bread.
