Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by dicing one English cucumber and halving a cup of cherry tomatoes. Place the chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook 4 slices of thick-cut bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup of ranch dressing with the crumbled bacon. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumbers and tomatoes in the mixing bowl. Gently mix using a spatula.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
After chilling, gently stir the salad, transfer to a serving bowl, and serve it chilled.
