Description

This Viral Cucumber Pepper Salad is a refreshing and vibrant dish featuring crisp Persian cucumbers, sweet mini bell peppers, and crunchy carrots, all tossed in a flavorful Asian miso ginger dressing with a spicy chili crunch oil kick and crunchy everything bagel seasoning.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4-5 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 7-8 mini sweet bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and julienned
  • 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 the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the thinly sliced Persian cucumbers, mini sweet bell peppers, julienned carrots, and thinly sliced shallot. Gently toss to mix the fresh vegetables evenly.
  2. Add the dressing: Pour the Asian miso ginger dressing over the combined vegetables. Toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated in the flavorful dressing, enhancing the taste and texture of the salad.
  3. Season and finish: Drizzle the chili crunch oil over the dressed vegetables for a spicy, crunchy kick, then sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top. Mix well to distribute the seasoning and oil evenly throughout the salad.
  4. Chill before serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to stay crisp and refreshing. Alternatively, you can serve immediately if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute Persian cucumbers with English cucumbers if unavailable.
  • Adjust chili crunch oil quantity based on your preferred spiciness level.
  • For added protein, consider topping the salad with toasted sesame seeds or chopped nuts.
  • The salad is best served chilled but can be enjoyed right after preparation for a crunchier texture.
  • Everything bagel seasoning can be homemade or store-bought and adds a savory, crunchy element.
