Scale
Ingredients
- 4 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
- Juice of half a lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumbers: Begin by thinly slicing the mini cucumbers. Thin slices help the cucumbers absorb the flavors more effectively, enhancing the overall taste.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumbers, dry ranch seasoning, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Toss everything together gently until the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the seasoning and juice.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld together and intensify.
- Serve: Before serving, give the cucumbers a good mix to redistribute the seasoning. Serve chilled and enjoy these crisp, tangy bites as a fresh snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the mix.
- You can substitute fresh herbs like dill or chives for extra flavor.
- Use Persian cucumbers as an alternative for a similar crunchy texture.
- These bites are best served fresh within 1 day for optimal crispiness.
