Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces and pat dry.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheddar cheese, and bacon.
  • Toss gently to avoid bursting the cherry tomatoes.
  • Pour the ranch dressing over the salad and toss to coat every piece evenly.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add dill if desired.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container. Keep the dressing separate to maintain crunchiness. Avoid freezing this salad as cucumbers will become mushy.
