How to Make Cucumber Ranch Crack Salad
Wash the cucumbers under cool running water, then slice them into thin rounds or half-moons.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and crumble.
Chop the green onions and bell peppers into small pieces. Add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the cucumber and veggie mixture.
Pour the ranch dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Add the crumbled bacon and freshly chopped dill or parsley, then lightly fold everything together.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Feel free to mix and match ingredients according to your preferences. For extra creaminess, drizzle a little extra ranch on top before serving.
