how to make Cucumber Ranch Salad

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

Slice the cucumbers and place them in a bowl.
Cover the cucumbers with cold water and sprinkle a good amount of salt over them.
Put the bowl in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to soak. This helps keep the cucumbers firm.
After soaking, drain the water from the bowl.
Add the chopped onions to the cucumbers and toss with ranch dressing. You can use any ranch dressing you like. For a lighter option, fat-free ranch works well!
Finish with a sprinkle of pepper, and your salad is ready to enjoy!

FAQs
