ADRIENNE'S CUCUMBER SALAD
Cool, delicious cucumber salad. For a pretty salad, peel only half of each cucumber, leaving strips of skin on each. Don't make the vinegar solution first and then chop the cucumber because it's important that the vinegar solution be hot to ensure proper flavoring.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH SALAD
I always seem to have leftover cooked chicken. This simple, tasty salad is a great use of your leftover chicken, either white meat, dark meat, or a combination! Romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, avocado, and cherry tomatoes combine with ranch dressing, and everything is topped off with crunchy bacon. Use purchased ranch salad dressing, or stir up one of the buttermilk dressing recipes on the site. Enjoy for a hearty lunch with some crackers, or for dinner, with a crusty bread. This recipe is proportioned for one person, but it's easy to double or triple for your needs.

Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: English or Persian cucumbers are best for slicing, as they have a thin skin and few seeds. If you're using regular cucumbers, peel and seed them before slicing.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing more easily.
- Use a flavorful dressing: A simple vinegar-based dressing is a good option, but you can also use a creamy dressing or a vinaigrette. Experiment with different flavors to find one that you like.
- Add other vegetables: Other vegetables that go well in cucumber salad include tomatoes, onions, radishes, and bell peppers.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Cucumber salad is a refreshing and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. With its simple ingredients and customizable flavor, it's a dish that everyone can enjoy. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy side dish, give cucumber salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
