Description
A crisp, vibrant cucumber and sweet pepper salad with a zingy ginger dressing, everything-bagel seasoning, and a hint of chili oil. Perfect for quick lunches or refreshing side dishes.
Ingredients
- 4–6 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced
- Mini sweet peppers or bell peppers (mixed colors), thinly sliced
- ¼ cup ginger-style salad dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- ½–1 tsp everything-bagel seasoning
- 1–2 tsp chili crisp or chili oil
Instructions
- Slice the cucumbers and peppers into even pieces for consistent texture.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced cucumbers and peppers.
- Drizzle the ginger salad dressing over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle everything-bagel seasoning and drizzle chili oil on top.
- Toss gently until all vegetables are evenly coated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, dressing, or chili oil as desired.
- Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or chill briefly to meld flavors.
Notes
- Best served fresh but can be refrigerated up to 2 days.
- Store dressing separately if making ahead to maintain crunch.
- Customize with edamame, cherry tomatoes, avocado, feta, or chickpeas for a more filling salad.
- Omit chili oil for a non-spicy version.
- Homemade ginger dressing can be made with olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger and garlic.
