Salad Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers. Finely chop the jalapeños and shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded. Soften the cream cheese to make mixing easier.
- Mix Salad: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, softened cream cheese, chopped jalapeños, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well until the cream cheese evenly coats the cucumbers and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled as a refreshing and spicy side dish or snack.
Notes
- Remove jalapeño seeds for milder heat.
- Serve chilled for best flavor.
- Can be garnished with fresh herbs like dill or cilantro for extra aroma.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter version.
