Description

A vibrant and refreshing Viral Cucumber Pepper Salad combining crisp Persian cucumbers, sweet mini bell peppers, crunchy carrots, and shallots tossed in a flavorful Asian miso ginger dressing with a spicy chili crunch oil finish and a savory everything bagel seasoning sprinkle. Perfect for a light, healthy side or snack.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4-5 Persian cucumbers, sliced
  • 7-8 mini sweet bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 large carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced

Dressing & Seasoning

  • 1/4 cup Asian miso ginger dressing
  • 1 tablespoon chili crunch oil
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning


Instructions

  1. Combine Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced Persian cucumbers, mini sweet bell peppers, julienned carrots, and thinly sliced shallots to prepare the salad base.
  2. Add Dressing: Pour the Asian miso ginger dressing over the mixed vegetables, then toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
  3. Finish with Seasoning: Drizzle the chili crunch oil over the salad for a spicy kick, then sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning on top. Mix well to combine all flavors.
  4. Chill or Serve: For best flavor and texture, chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Alternatively, serve immediately if preferred.

Notes

  • This salad is best served fresh but can be chilled to enhance flavors.
  • The chili crunch oil adds heat; adjust amount to taste for milder version.
  • Everything bagel seasoning provides a savory crunch and can be substituted with sesame seeds and poppy seeds if unavailable.
  • Use Persian cucumbers for their thin skin and crisp texture, but regular cucumbers can be used if needed.
  • Miso ginger dressing can be store-bought or homemade for customization.
