A creamy cucumber, cheddar, and beef snack bowl combining fresh, crunchy cucumbers with tangy dressing, sharp cheddar cheese, and savory beef for a quick, flavorful snack or light meal.

Ingredients

1 large cucumber, diced

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup cooked beef, crumbled or finely chopped

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley), chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the creamy dressing.
  2. Add the diced cucumber to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the dressing.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked beef until well combined.
  4. Garnish with fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a cooler, more blended flavor.

Notes

  • Swap cheddar for mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a milder flavor.
  • Add chopped tomatoes or bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier twist.
  • Mix in cooked quinoa or rice to make it more filling.
  • Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; best served cold or at room temperature.
  • Do not reheat to avoid texture changes due to cucumber water release.
  • Use cooked beef only for food safety and best texture.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan with suitable substitutes.
