Ingredients You’ll Need

Creating this delicious cucumber snack doesn’t require an elaborate shopping list—just a few staple ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:

Key Ingredients:

• 2 cucumbers, sliced
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
• 2 tbsp bacon bits
• A pinch of black pepper
• A sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning
• A dash of salad Supreme seasoning
• 2 tbsp avocado lime ranch dressing

These ingredients combine for a balanced snack that has all the elements you crave: crunchy, creamy, cheesy, and savory. The cucumber provides the freshness and hydration, while the cheese and bacon add a rich, savory bite. The seasonings and dressing round everything out with a delightful burst of flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

This cucumber snack is super easy to prepare, and the steps couldn’t be simpler. Here’s how to make it:

• Start by slicing your cucumbers into bite-sized pieces. Aim for thin slices to ensure they are crisp and easy to eat. If you prefer, you can cut them into rounds or half-moons, depending on your texture preference. Place the cucumber slices in a bowl.

Step 2: Add Cheese and Bacon

• To add a savory, cheesy element, sprinkle shredded cheese over the cucumber slices. Choose cheddar for its sharp, tangy flavor, or experiment with other varieties like mozzarella or parmesan. Next, add the bacon bits for a salty, crispy crunch that enhances the overall taste.

Step 3: Season to Perfection

• Now it’s time to season your cucumber snack. Add a pinch of black pepper to bring out the flavors, along with a generous sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning and a dash of Salad Supreme seasoning. These seasonings work wonders to give the snack a zesty, savory profile that is irresistible.

Step 4: Drizzle with Dressing

• The avocado lime ranch dressing is what ties this snack together. Drizzle it over the cucumber, cheese, bacon, and seasonings, allowing the creamy dressing to coat everything evenly. The avocado lime ranch adds a refreshing, tangy kick that complements the other ingredients beautifully.

Step 5: Stir and Serve

• Gently stir the mixture to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing and seasonings. Once everything is mixed, you can enjoy this refreshing cucumber snack immediately, or you can let it sit for a few minutes for the flavors to meld together.
