Instructions
Prep the Crunch
Wash and chop the cucumbers. Dice them small for easier scooping or go with thick slices if you’re making a snack-style salad.
Mix the Magic
In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, shredded cheese, bacon, and green onions.
Get Saucy
Add ranch dressing, sour cream (if using), and seasoning. Toss until every bite is coated in creamy goodness.
Chill or Serve
Pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes to let flavors marry — or eat it straight away if you can’t wait. (We don’t blame you.)
Optional Add-Ins to Amp It Up
Cherry tomatoes for color and juice
Chopped boiled eggs for extra protein
Crushed Doritos for a wild, crunchy twist
Diced avocado for that buttery texture
Pickled jalapeños if you like a little kick
