Prepare the cucumber by peeling and grating it.

Remove excess water by placing the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeezing out the liquid.

In a food processor, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.

Mix in onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Incorporate the squeezed cucumber into the cream cheese mixture and fold gently.

If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring for color.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Serve chilled on crackers, sandwiches, or veggies.
