I just made this recipe and it is delicious! I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 cup of low-fat Greek yogurt instead of the mayonnaise. I also drained the vegetable mixture as some others have suggested, added the ranch dressing mix directly to the vegetables, and saved the Greek yogurt to stir in last. The taste is not bland at all - possibly because I used the full packet of ranch dressing mix in the course of doubling the recipe, but I didn't even add salt or any other seasoning. Next time, I might try using poblano peppers instead of a green bell pepper, and might also add shredded carrots. Very simple recipe and very tasty.

I did not care for this recipe. I had a counterful of garden zucchini and cucumber and thought this would be good to try. It is bland and tasteless. I tried to save it with dill, onion flakes and galic, with no success. Will never make this again.

After shredding the cucumber & zucchin place them in a clean kitchen towel and roll tightly to remove excess water. Using the mayonnaise and ranch dressing will then still pull out some water so be sure to drain or use a slotted spoon to remove any more water. One reviewer suggested this as a cole slaw, what a great idea!

This was a refreshing salad spread. I didnt have ranch seasoning so used prepared ranch dressing in place of the mayo & season mix. I also didnt have green pepper but used green onion instead. I added a touch of dill seasoning and let it chill as another user stated. It was a bit running, possibly from using the dressing, but overall pretty tasty:)

Good base recipe. Ive made this twice and Ive used bottled ranch dressing that I had an overabundance of both times. The first time as is its good. When I made this tonight I added in a heavy 1/4 c of shredded red onion. It needs to get cold it says serve immediately.. and you could.. but its better after it has a chance to meld together. My husband asked if this was the cucumber coleslaw like last time and I think that describes it perfect. A shredded carrot or 2 would also be good. I like that this is easily changeable to what comes out of my garden and crisper.

I was looking for an easy recipe to use up some of the veggies from my garden. I used a purple bell pepper instead, added salt & pepper, chopped purple onion, and drained chicken from a can. Delicious on some toast with lettuce.

It is a MUST to lightly salt and juice out the water in both veggies. Squeeze and re-squeeze before you add the dressing. I cut the recipe in half and had enough to feed 3-4 servings. My major complaint: too salty. The more you eat of it the more it 'grew on you.'
