Ingredients Needed to Make This Chicken and Cucumber Salad
Ingredient quantities for this homemade chicken salad are located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
- English cucumbers: I prefer to use English cucumbers in this recipe for their flavor and the fact that they don’t need to be peeled or deseeded (super convenient!). If you use regular cucumbers instead, you will need to peel and deseed them because the peels add a bitter flavor.
- Cooked chicken: You can use rotisserie chicken, canned chicken, or baked chicken.
- Bacon: I usually use regular bacon, but turkey bacon works well too.
- Ranch dressing: You can use storebought or this homemade ranch dressing recipe (omit the added bacon).
- Salt and pepper
- Dried dill or fresh dill: Optional, but adds an extra layer of flavor!
