If you love cucumbers like we do, make sure to whip up this dill and cucumber salad recipe or this perfect radish and cucumber salad option.

Ingredients:

  • Mini cucumbers— My one-pound bag of mini cucumbers contained seven cucumbers, but I used 4 for this recipe.
  • dry ranch seasoning
  • Juice of half a lemon (about one tablespoon)

How to make Ranch Cucumbers

  1. Prepare the cucumbers: Start by thinly slicing your mini cucumbers. Thinner slices absorb more flavor.
  2. Mix it up: Mix the sliced cucumbers with the dry ranch seasoning and fresh lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the cucumbers are evenly coated.

  1. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate to let the flavors combine.
  2. Serve and enjoy: Mix the cucumbers well before serving to redistribute everything. Cucumbers are best when cold, so leave them in the fridge until you are ready to eat.

THIS SNACK IS BEST SERVED COLD

  • Approximately 2 cups of seasoned ranch cucumbers.

FAQs:

Can I use regular cucumbers instead of mini cucumbers?

Absolutely! Regular cucumbers can be used, too; remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery snack.

What if I want a stronger ranch flavor?

Feel free to adjust the amount of ranch seasoning based on your taste preference. Some might like it milder, while others, like our house, might enjoy a more ranch kick!

How long can I store these ranch cucumbers?

These cucumbers keep well in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Just ensure they’re covered to keep them crisp and prevent fridge smells from getting into the jar.

Variations and Tips:

  • Add-ins: For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle in some chopped dill or parsley.
  • Spice it up: For those who like a bit of heat, a dash of red pepper flakes can give the ranch cucumber seasoning a spicy twist.
  • If Ranch seasoning isn’t your thing, try sliced cucumbers with other spice blends like taco seasoning, everything bagel seasoning, or chili blends.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve alongside a sandwich or wrap for a full meal or as part of a larger cucumber appetizer spread.
