1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 small onion, quartered
1 medium cucumber

Peel cucumber and slice in half lengthwise; remove seeds with a small spoon. Place cucumber in a food processor and pulse about five times, until cucumber is minced. Do not drain. Place cucumber and liquid into a small glass mixing bowl. Place onion in the food processor, pulsing until it is finely chopped. Add onion and liquid to cucumber.
