Easy Ranch Cucumbers

My Grandmother has made this recipe for as long as I can remember. It is a simple recipe that is great as an after school snack!
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel and slice cucumbers. You want to slice them about an 1/8 of an inch thick. If you have toddlers, you may want to cut each slice into smaller bite sized pieces.

Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of salt. Just enough to taste but not overpower the cucumber. Children are more sensitive to the taste of salt than adults so make it accordingly if you are making this recipe for children.
- 3
Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of ranch dressing. You can use any brand or even make your own. You only want to lightly coat the cucumbers. Remember that as it sits in the refrigerator, thr cucumbers will "sweat" and make the dressing more watery.

My children prefer this recipe after it has sat overnight in the fridge but they will eat it freshly made as well.

I learned this recipe from my grandparents. It's great for using up lots of cucumbers in the summer.1/2 teaspoon is on the low side, and I prefer about 1 teaspoon. This is best chilled. If the cucumbers look dirty after rolling them on the cutting board, wash them off and sprinkle with more salt. Recipe by Yuki cookpad.japan -
Mustard Marinated Cucumbers Mustard Marinated Cucumbers
Japanese-style mustard pickles are delicious, so I thought another more "Western" version using mustard should be great too.By slicing the cucumber diagonally, it will wilt faster.By using a plastic bag, you'll be able to prevent your hands from getting dirty.I added a little sugar for sweetness. Serve these just like you would any other kind of pickle. For 2 servings. Recipe by hitkat cookpad.japan -

This is a simple recipe from my childhood. My stepfather always made this growing up. We ate this as a side dish, as an appetizer, at cookouts,...even as a topper for other foods! He usually only did "Cucumbers & Tomatoes in Italian Dressing" but when I started making it myself in my late 20s I started adding onion because I'm obsessed with them! 😆👌 Then, in my early 30s a good friend made this at her home with the addition of green peppers as she had grown a lot of them that year. So now, my personal recipe has adapted to the inclusion of all of these wonderful foods! I also, play around occasionally with the dressing. 😎👍 This particular time I used a raspberry vinaigrette in place of Italian Dressing & I have also used regular vinaigrettes as well. This is always a nice addition to dinner or the cookout. And even as a midday snack! 👏🤤 Chef Mommy Nessa -

Lightly Pickled Cucumbers Lightly Pickled Cucumbers
Everyone in my family loved this dish!Although using a plastic bag would pickle more evenly, I make and serve it in a Tupperware. The longer the pickling, the better the flavor.When pickling for a long time, it's good to add ichimi chili pepper powder before serving. Recipe by Team yokin cookpad.japan
