Categories     Salad

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large cucumbers, washed, sliced in half then sliced in pieces. (I leave the skin on, but you can peel it off if you prefer)
1 small onion, I like the sweet onions, chopped (sometimes I use green onions)
1 cup Ranch dressing (more or less to taste)
Salt and cold water
Pepper

Steps:

  • Slice cucumbers and place in a bowl. Cover with cold water and give a good sprinkling of salt. Place in refrigerator for a couple of hours to soak. This will keep the cucumbers firm. Drain water. Add onions, and toss with ranch dressing. (You can use any ranch you want, I make it with fat free, and it makes this salad nice and light!) Give it a sprinkle of pepper and you're all done!!

CUCUMBER RANCH DRESSING

Ranch dressing pairs up well with sturdy lettuces, not delicate ones, which droop under its heft. Ours also makes a refreshing dip for blanched vegetables such as these mixed beans.
