Try Creamy Cucumber Salad during the hot summer months. Perfect for when your garden cucumbers are growing out your ears!
I like the creaminess of this salad. And the ranch dressing. Is there anyone who doesn’t like Ranch Dressing? I use so much ranch dressing mix that I now buy it in a container. It’s less expensive than the individual packets. Or I make a homemade version that is very close to the brand. See my Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix Here.
When choosing cucumbers, I look for slim ones that are straight. Seedless if I can find them. Or try English Cucumbers. You know, the ones wrapped in cellophane.
I partially peel my cucumbers, leaving small strips of peel on them, just enough to give them a little variation in color. Here in the US the peels on store-bought cucumbers are thick and tough. If you’re using a garden variety you won’t notice this as much.
Serve Creamy Cucumber Salad with Steak and Shrimp Shish Kabobs or Grilled Pork Chops. For more recipes that use cucumbers, try Sweet Cucumbers and Onions or Cucumber Tomato Salad.
