Crunchy Cucumber Bacon Salad (Print Version)

A fresh mix of crisp cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, and crispy bacon with creamy ranch dressing.

# Ingredients:

Dressing

01 - 2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix
02 - 1 cup full-fat sour cream

Salad

03 - 2 cups chopped Roma or plum tomatoes
04 - 4 cups spiralized or thinly sliced English cucumbers
05 - 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

# Instructions:

01 - Combine sour cream with ranch seasoning mix in a bowl and mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
02 - Spiralize or thinly slice the cucumbers. Drain and blot with a paper towel to remove excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
03 - Chop tomatoes finely, pour off any accumulated liquid, and blot dry with a paper towel to maintain crispness.
04 - Add the cucumbers and tomatoes to the dressing and mix gently until evenly coated.
05 - Top salad with crumbled bacon, mixing gently to distribute or leaving on top for presentation. Serve immediately for best freshness.

# Notes:

01 - Draining and blotting vegetables of excess water ensures salad remains crisp and prevents dilution of dressing.
