Description

A refreshing and vibrant Viral Cucumber Pepper Salad featuring crisp Persian cucumbers, colorful mini sweet bell peppers, and delicate carrot ribbons, all tossed in a flavorful Asian miso ginger dressing with a spicy kick from chili crunch oil and the savory crunch of everything bagel seasoning. Perfectly quick to prepare, this salad offers a delightful combination of textures and tastes, ideal as a light side dish or a healthy snack.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4–5 Persian cucumbers, cut into rounds
  • 7–8 mini sweet bell peppers, sliced into rings
  • 2 large carrots, cut/peeled into ribbons or cut into small pieces
  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced

Dressing and Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup Asian miso ginger dressing (any brand)
  • 1 tablespoon chili crunch oil
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for topping


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the Persian cucumbers into rounds, slice the mini sweet bell peppers into rings, and peel or cut the carrots into ribbons or small pieces. Thinly slice the shallot. Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl, ensuring they are evenly chopped for balanced crunch and color in every bite.
  2. Add the Dressing: Pour the Asian miso ginger dressing over the mixed vegetables. Use a large spoon or salad tongs to thoroughly toss the ingredients, making sure each vegetable piece is well coated with the dressing.
  3. Season and Spice: Add the chili crunch oil and everything bagel seasoning to the bowl. Toss everything again until the flavors are fully incorporated and the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the salad.
  4. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle additional everything bagel seasoning on top for extra crunch and flavor if desired. Serve immediately for a crisp and fresh salad, or chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to enjoy a colder, more marinated texture. Toss again before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh Persian cucumbers for their thin skin and crisp texture.
  • The salad can be chilled for up to an hour to enhance marination and flavor blending.
  • Adjust chili crunch oil quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Everything bagel seasoning adds a delicious, savory crunch; feel free to add more or less to taste.
  • This salad is best eaten fresh to maintain its crispness.
