Notes

To take some of the "bite" out of the onion in this recipe, soak it in cold water while preparing the other ingredients.
Upon sitting, the salad will naturally produce liquid as cucumbers and tomatoes contain a lot of water. Drain before serving if needed.
Note: This recipe was originally published with Hidden Valley ® Simply Ranch Cucumber Basil Ranch as the dressing. This dressing is no longer available, regular ranch dressing can be substituted for the homemade dressing if desired.
