"Cool As A Cucumber Salad"

A Super Simple Summer Salad. The Dill in the "Fresh and Easy" FRESH Ranch dressing brings out the full flavor of the cucumbers and turns something simple into a explosion of Fresh flavor. This makes a good side dish as is or else can be used to top greens to turn it into a more hearty salad. I have also used this to top grilled chicken taco's to add a unique twist to a old favorite. Its also a good way to get some fresh vegetables into the diet of children they love this treat.

"Cool As A Cucumber Salad"

Ingredients needed:

2 Cucumbers

1 Bunch of Scallions

1 Small can of "Fresh & Easy" Sliced Black Olives

1 Bottle of "Fresh & Easy" FRESH Ranch Dressing

Directions:

Start by washing the vegetables and set aside.

Slice the cucumbers lengthwise in half then slice the halves lengthwise again so you end up with quarters. Then slice the cucumbers into 1/8 inch thick slices so that you end up with little triangles of cucumbers. Place the sliced cucumbers into a large mixing bowl.

Then take the bottom ends off of the scallions leaving plenty of white as well as green. Chop the scallions into 1/4-1/2 inch long pieces and then add those to the cucumbers.

Open and drain the black olives. Then add the drained black olives to the cucumber and scallions.

Toss the vegetables together and then add the bottle of ranch dressing. Mix thoroughly until all the vegetables are coated.

The salad is now ready to serve.

Serving Suggestions/ Variations:

As I stated in the intro you can eat this as is or add it to taco's or a green tossed salad. If you do not like the olives or scallions you may sub something you do like. Try using bell peppers diced up or maybe even some finely sliced carrots. Almost anything will work well with the great dill flavor the "Fresh & Easy" Ranch dressing has. Try this recipe out you will not be disappointed with the flavor not to mention how easy it is to make.
