Preparation Steps

Wash and dry the English cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. Dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes. Mix them in a bowl.
Cook the thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8–10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
In a separate bowl, combine the reserved bacon drippings with Ranch dressing. Crumble the cooked bacon into this mixture.
Pour the dressing over the diced cucumbers and halved tomatoes. Toss gently until everything is coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
Cover and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Toss again before serving in a dish. Enjoy!
