Description

This Viral Cucumber Pepper Salad is a refreshing, crunchy, and flavorful dish featuring Persian cucumbers, sweet mini bell peppers, carrots, and shallots, all tossed in a tangy Asian miso ginger dressing with a spicy kick from chili crunch oil and a savory finish of everything bagel seasoning. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for a light, vibrant 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, peeled and cut into ribbons or small pieces
  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced

Dressing & Seasoning

  • 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: Cut the Persian cucumbers into rounds, slice the mini sweet bell peppers into rings, peel and cut the carrots into ribbons or small pieces, and thinly slice the shallot. Ensure all vegetables are evenly chopped to provide a consistent crunch and color in every bite.
  2. Add the Dressing: Pour the Asian miso ginger dressing over the chopped vegetables in a large bowl. Toss carefully with a large spoon or salad tongs until all the veggies are well coated with the dressing, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  3. Season and Spice: Add the chili crunch oil and everything bagel seasoning to the bowl. Toss again thoroughly to combine the vibrant flavors and evenly distribute the seasoning throughout the salad.
  4. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle extra everything bagel seasoning on top if desired for added crunch and flavor. Serve the salad immediately for a crisp and fresh texture, or chill it in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then toss again before serving for a cooler, more marinated taste.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili crunch oil or omit it entirely.
  • Use fresh Persian cucumbers for the best crunch and flavor; regular cucumbers can be substituted if necessary.
  • This salad can be made ahead and kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but best consumed within the first few hours for optimal freshness.
  • Adding fresh herbs like cilantro or mint can enhance the salad with additional brightness.
  • Allergy note: Check the miso ginger dressing ingredients for soy or gluten if you have dietary restrictions.
