Creamy Cucumber Cheddar Bacon (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2–3 cups sliced cucumbers
02 - ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
04 - ½ cup ranch dressing or sour cream
05 - 1 tsp dill (optional)
06 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Add the sliced cucumbers to a mixing bowl and gently toss with the ranch dressing or sour cream until evenly coated.
02 - Stir in the shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and optional dill.
03 - Season to taste with salt and pepper, mixing gently to combine.
04 - Chill for 10 minutes before serving, or enjoy immediately if you’re craving that cool, creamy crunch.

# Notes:

01 - Use English cucumbers for fewer seeds and a more tender bite, or peel and deseed regular cucumbers for similar results.
02 - For best flavor, use freshly cooked bacon — but pre-cooked bacon bits work well in a pinch.
03 - Let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
