How to Store:
Store any leftover Garlic Cucumber Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Be sure to give it a stir before serving, as the cucumber may release some liquid. This dip is best enjoyed cold, and it tastes even better after sitting for a few hours as the flavors meld together.
