TikTok Cucumber Salad (Printable)

Crisp cucumbers and green onions in a tangy, creamy everything-bagel dressing — ready in 10 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
02 - 2 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced

→ Dressing

03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or plain sour cream
04 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
06 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
07 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
08 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
09 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Seasoning & Garnish

11 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning (use certified gluten-free blend if required)
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Wash cucumbers and green onions. Thinly slice the cucumbers (peel if desired) and slice the green onions; transfer to a large mixing bowl and, if cucumbers are especially wet, blot gently with a paper towel.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, rice vinegar, kosher salt and black pepper until smooth and slightly glossy; taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
03 - Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumbers and green onions and toss gently with a large spoon or salad tongs to ensure even coating without crushing the slices.
04 - Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the dressed vegetables and fold lightly to distribute the seeds and aromatics while retaining some crunchy texture.
05 - Garnish with chopped dill if using. Serve immediately for maximum crispness or chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This salad packs tang, crunch, and an unexpected savory boost from the everything bagel seasoning—you’ll want to eat it straight from the bowl.
  • It’s the ultimate low-effort, high-reward lunch: just slice, whisk, toss, and you’re done.
02 -
  • If you salt cucumbers too soon, they’ll shed water and water down your dressing—combine everything just before serving.
  • Switching from sour cream to Greek yogurt gives a tangier, lighter flavor but don’t worry, both are delicious.
03 -
  • Always slice cucumbers as thinly as possible for a salad that soaks up dressing without getting soggy.
  • Letting the salad rest for just ten minutes in the fridge makes the seasoning flavor bloom—that’s the secret to next-level taste.
