  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 (1 cup) servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 45 Persian cucumbers, cut into rounds
  • 78 mini sweet bell peppers, sliced into rings
  • 2 large carrots, cut/peeled into ribbons or cut into 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: Add all the chopped cucumbers, sliced mini bell peppers, carrot ribbons, and thinly sliced shallot into a large bowl. Make sure everything is evenly chopped so each bite gets all the crunch and color.
  2. Add the Dressing: Pour the Asian miso ginger dressing over the vegetables. Use a large spoon or salad tongs to toss everything together until the veggies are well coated with the dressing.
  3. Season and Spice: Add the chili crunch oil and everything bagel seasoning to the bowl. Toss everything again until the flavors are fully combined and seasoning is distributed evenly.
  4. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle extra everything bagel seasoning on top for extra crunch and flavor if desired. Serve right away for a crisp salad, or chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, toss again, and then serve if you prefer a colder, more marinated texture.

Notes

  • Dressing: Use any Asian-style dressing you prefer. Braggs miso ginger dressing is a recommended choice.
  • Veggies: Persian or English cucumbers are best for crunch, but any variety can be used. Mini sweet bell peppers add sweetness, but regular bell peppers also work.
  • Chili oil: Start with a teaspoon at a time if you prefer less heat and adjust to taste.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Customization: Feel free to add more fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for extra flavor and freshness.
