4 cups of cucumbers, sliced (about 2 medium cucumbers)
6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Wash your cucumbers thoroughly. Optionally peel them, then slice them into thin rounds or half-moons.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool before crumbling.
Halve your cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
Thinly slice the red onion. Soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow the flavor if desired.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumbers, crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar, and red onion.
Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
