Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 cup fresh cucumbers sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup creamy ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/3 cup crispy bacon crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh green onions chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill weed
  • salt to taste
  • fresh black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash and slice the cucumbers into thin rounds - about 1/4 inch thick works perfectly. Chop the green onions into small pieces. If your bacon isn't already cooked, fry it up until crispy and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss together the sliced cucumbers, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Give everything a gentle mix so it's evenly distributed.
  • Pour the ranch dressing over the cucumber mixture. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, dried dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Don't go too heavy on the salt since the bacon and cheese already add plenty of flavor.
  • Gently toss everything until the cucumbers are nicely coated with the ranch dressing and all the flavors are mixed throughout. Make sure every piece gets some of that creamy goodness.
  • For the best flavor, pop it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to let everything meld together. Serve chilled and garnish with extra bacon bits or green onions if you're feeling fancy.
