• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Dice the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then dice the cucumber into small cubes. Add the diced cucumber to the bowl with the chicken.

Finely mince the fresh dill and sprinkle it into the bowl with the other ingredients.

Step 5

In a small separate bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken, cucumber, and onions. Gently toss everything together until thoroughly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve the cucumber ranch chicken salad chilled on its own, over a bed of greens, or in a sandwich or wrap.
