- A pinch of black pepper
- A sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning
- A dash of Salad Supreme seasoning

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the cucumbers
Wash and slice the cucumbers into bite-sized rounds. For extra crunch, you can keep the skin on.
2. Add the flavor base
Place the cucumber slices in a large bowl. Add shredded cheese, bacon bits, and your seasonings: black pepper, Old Bay, and Salad Supreme.
3. Add the creamy touch
Drizzle the avocado lime ranch dressing over the cucumber mixture.
4. Toss and serve
Gently stir until all the cucumber pieces are evenly coated with the cheese, bacon, and dressing.
Tips for the Best Flavor
- Use fresh cucumbers for maximum crunch.
- For a lighter version, swap the dressing for Greek yogurt mixed with lime juice.
- Add cherry tomato halves or sliced bell peppers for extra color and flavor.
- If making ahead, store the cucumbers and dressing separately to keep them crisp.
Storage
Best enjoyed immediately, but you can store in the fridge for up to 4 hours before it starts losing its crunch.
