A cool, creamy cucumber salad loaded with cheddar, herbs, and a flavorful ranch dressing.
Ingredients:
3 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup sliced green onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Pat the sliced cucumbers dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the cucumbers, cheddar cheese, green onions, and dill.
Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Garnish with extra dill and green onions, if desired.
Meal Prep Tip: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For the best texture, enjoy within the first 24 hours.
Serving Idea: Serve alongside grilled chicken, burgers, or sandwiches, or enjoy it on its own as a light lunch.
