Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 c ranch dressing
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
5 cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 c red onion rings
1/4 c green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Mix dressing and pepper in large bowl.
  • 2. Add remaining ingredients; mix lightly.
  • 3. Refrigerate.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cucumbers. If you only have access to older cucumbers, peel them before slicing to remove the waxy coating.
  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the cucumbers as thinly as possible. This will help them absorb the dressing more easily.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the cucumbers and dill. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to serve the salad, toss the cucumbers with the dressing and dill. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Conclusion:

This creamy ranch cucumber salad is a refreshing and delicious side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try!
