- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5–15 minutes
Ingredients
-
2 large cucumbers, sliced into rounds or spears
-
1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar (optional)
-
1/2 teaspoon olive oil (optional for extra flavor)
-
Pinch of red pepper flakes or black pepper (optional)
Instructions
-
Slice cucumbers and place them in a mixing bowl.
-
Sprinkle ranch seasoning evenly over the slices.
-
Add lemon juice and olive oil if using.
-
Toss well to coat all pieces.
-
Chill for 10–15 minutes or enjoy immediately for extra crunch.
Notes
-
Use mini cucumbers (Persian or baby cukes) for bite-size crunch and natural sweetness.
-
Marinate longer: Let them sit for 30 minutes in the fridge to soak up even more ranch flavor.
-
Go bold: Add chopped dill, chives, or garlic powder for a herby punch.
-
Spice it up: Mix in a few dashes of hot sauce or a sprinkle of Tajín for a spicy-tangy twist.
-
Keep it crisp: Don’t overdress—too much oil or acid can soften the cucumbers quickly.
-
Serve cold: This snack is best when chilled; pop in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving.
-
Pack it to-go: Use a mason jar or small container to bring this crunchy treat to work or school.
