Cucumber Ranch Salad
Crisp cucumbers with onion in ranch dressing. An easy side dish your family is sure to enjoy!
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
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!!

This cucumber Ranch Salad has me a little confused. It says to cover with cold water. After you let them sit, do you drain the water? Also if you do not, wouldn’t the salad be runny after putting in the Ranch dressing?

I am sorry my directions weren’t clear. I will go in and edit them — Yes, slice the cucumbers, add some salt and cover them with cold water and let them sit in the water for a couple of hours. Drain the water, add the Ranch. 🙂
