TikTok Cucumber Salad Everything Dressing (Printable)

Crunchy cucumber and scallion in creamy, tangy everything bagel dressing — a fresh, quick side or light lunch.

# Components:

→ 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), room temperature
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
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

# Method:

01 - Rinse cucumbers and green onions. Thinly slice cucumbers (peel if preferred) and slice green onions; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, rice vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and homogenous.
03 - Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumbers and green onions. Gently toss with salad tongs or a large spoon until all pieces are evenly coated.
04 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the dressed vegetables and toss lightly to distribute the seasoning without bruising the cucumbers.
05 - Garnish with chopped fresh dill if using. Serve immediately for maximum crispness or chill for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can throw it together in ten minutes flat and it feels fancy every single time.
  • The combination of creamy, zippy dressing and crunchy bagel seasoning just begs for another bite.
02 -
  • Letting the salad sit for more than thirty minutes makes the cucumbers release water and the dressing get runny—learned that only after arriving at a soggy picnic.
  • Tasting as you go really matters; one squeeze of lemon too many can take the dressing from bright to puckeringly sharp fast.
03 -
  • Dry your cucumbers with a towel first to keep the dressing thick and luscious.
  • Saving a sprinkle of bagel seasoning for the final toss guarantees little bursts of crunch and flavor in every bite.
