Chunky Bacon and Cucumber Salad
This is a recipe that uses up a lot of cucumbers. I wanted to make a western style salad that went well with pasta, so I combined some ingredients I usually have on hand.
The sautéed bacon and olive oil becomes the dressing. It goes best with the cucumber if you think it's a bit too salty. The cucumber loses its raw flavor, and it becomes a very tasty salad. Great as a drinking appetizer! For 2 servings. Recipe by Gissele

I suppose if you can't find roasted garlic and bacon dressing any kind of ranch would do.the only reason I use roasted garlic and bacon dressing was because I didn't have any mayo. And I think I like it better with the dressing

I decided not to garden this year. Thankfully, I have a generous neighbor who provides me with the bounty from his. He provides the cucumbers, I provide the salad. Sounds like a good tradeoff to me.Cucumber salad is cold, refreshing, and perfect as a side to any BBQ dish, but perfectly good on its own. A glass of rose doesn't hurt.
