Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces mini seedless cucumbers Fresh and crunchy, the star ingredient of this salad.
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese Adds a rich, nutty flavor that complements the dressing perfectly.
  • 4 ounces bacon Cooked & crumbled, provides a savory crunch.
  • 1/2 Tablespoon butter Salted, used to toast the breadcrumbs.
  • 1/4 teaspoon panko breadcrumbs Gives a delightful crunch when toasted.
  • 1/2 cup caesar dressing The creamy base that brings all the elements together.

  2. Slice the mini seedless cucumbers into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the sliced cucumbers to a large mixing bowl.
  3. To the bowl of cucumbers, add 1/2 cup of shaved Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of crumbled bacon, and 2 tablespoons of toasted breadcrumbs. Drizzle in your desired amount of Caesar dressing and toss gently.
