Bacon Tomato Cucumber Sandwich is a quick meal, with bacon, cucumber slices, tomato and ranch dressing served on your favorite toasted bread!

If you enjoy eating bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches, chances are pretty good you’re going to like this bacon tomato CUCUMBER sandwich! It is a simple meal to make quickly for a lunch or easy dinner.

My husband and I LOVE BLT’s for breakfast, lunch OR dinner. We both enjoyed them growing up, and still enjoy them to this day. This slight tweak of the classic BLT got my attention years ago when I found the recipe in one of my food magazines.

It’s a slight twist on the classic BLT sandwich, but with extra crunch, thanks to thinly sliced cucumbers (regular or English cucumbers). It also has a slightly different flavor, thanks to the Ranch dressing used as a condiment (instead of traditional mayonnaise). 

This recipe (as written below) will be enough for ONE sandwich, but can be easily doubled, tripled. etc. to make the quantity you need. Here’s how to make a bacon tomato cucumber sandwich.

Cook The Bacon

Cook bacon slices in a large skillet until fully cooked and crisp. I use TWO slices of bacon (each cut in half) for each sandwich, but of course you can add as many slices as you wish!

I usually make a couple extra slices, so I can reheat them to make another sandwich (for my husband or myself), OR I can add them to a quick breakfast the next day!

When the bacon has finished cooking, transfer the cooked bacon to paper towels, to absorb any remaining grease.

While The Bacon Cooks…

Using a sharp knife, cut a regular or English cucumber into about 12 very thin slices (for each sandwich). There is no need to peel the cucumber, so this step goes very quickly!

Toast two slices of your favorite bread per sandwich, then set them aside on a serving plate, until you’re ready to build the sandwich.

Let’s Build The Bacon Tomato Cucumber Sandwich!

Spread one Tablespoon of Ranch dressing onto the toasted bread slices (divide this amount between both pieces).

You can use bottled Ranch dressing, light Ranch dressing or homemade ranch dressing. Use whatever Ranch salad dressing you have on hand, or most convenient at the time.

Shingle the cucumber slices onto one piece of toasted bread, overlapping the ends slightly to fill the bread.

Final Step

Now place a couple slices of tomato on top of the cucumbers, to fill the sandwich. If you have a giant tomato, you will probably only need one slice.

The final step is to add the cooked bacon slices. I typically cut two pieces of cooked bacon in half to fit the sandwich. If you are a bacon lover, add as much bacon as you would like!

Place the second piece of toast, Ranch dressing side down, onto the top of the bacon. Now your bacon tomato cucumber sandwich is ready to be served.

Serve The Bacon Tomato Cucumber Sandwich

Slice the bacon tomato cucumber sandwich in half diagonally, if desired. Serve it with whatever you’d enjoy munching on with your sandwich!

When I made the sandwich this time (and photographed it), I enjoyed it with a crisp pickle slice and cold red grapes on the side. YUM!

Enjoy the sandwich, because it tastes really good! The first time I tried it, the crunch of the cucumber slices surprised me, but it was a GOOD surprise!
