Peel the cucumber, slice it thinly, and add the slices to the salad.
Thinly slice half a small red onion and add it to the vegetables.
Cut the cooked turkey breast and low-fat ham into strips. Add them to the bowl.
Slice the low-fat Swiss cheese into thin strips or small cubes and add them to the salad.
Peel the boiled eggs, slice them into quarters, and lay them on top of the salad.
Sprinkle the salad with salt and black pepper to taste.
Drizzle the low-fat ranch dressing over the top of the salad.
Toss everything gently to combine or serve with the dressing on the side for guests to add as desired.
