This Cucumber Ranch Crack Salad is crisp, creamy, and full of fresh flavor — cool cucumber rounds tossed in tangy ranch dressing with sharp cheddar and green onions for a quick, satisfying side dish.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 23 cups sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash the cucumbers and slice into thin rounds.
  2. Chop the green onions and shred the cheddar cheese if needed.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, shredded cheddar, and chopped green onions.
  4. Pour in the ranch dressing and sprinkle garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Gently toss everything until the cucumbers are evenly coated.
  6. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes for best flavor, then serve.

Notes

  • For extra crunch or color, add diced tomatoes or chopped celery.
  • Swap in mozzarella or feta cheese instead of cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Lighten it up by using a Greek‑yogurt‑based ranch dressing.
  • Use English or Persian cucumbers for fewer seeds and thinner skin if preferred.
