TikTok Cucumber Salad Everything Bagel (Printable)

Crisp cucumbers in a creamy everything-bagel dressing with lemon, dill and green onions for a quick, bright salad.

# What You Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 large cucumbers, very thinly sliced
02 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced (white and light-green parts)

→ Dressing

03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream as alternative)
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)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Wash cucumbers and green onions. Thinly slice the cucumbers (peel first if preferred) and slice the green onions; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
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 uniform.
03 - Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumbers and green onions and toss gently with salad tongs or a large spoon so all pieces are evenly coated.
04 - Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the dressed vegetables and toss lightly to distribute the crunchy seasoning without mashing the cucumbers.
05 - Garnish with chopped fresh dill if using. Serve immediately for maximum crispness or chill for about 10 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The salad tastes like a deli bagel in fresh, veggie form, but you can eat a whole bowl with zero guilt.
  • Minimal prep, maximum snack potential — I make it in less time than it takes to scroll TikTok for a new lunch idea.
02 -
  • If you overdress the salad, the cucumbers can get soggy in minutes, so add the dressing gradually — I learned the hard way on my first batch.
  • Letting the garlic sit in the dressing for just five minutes before mixing into the salad mellows its sharpness and keeps the flavors balanced.
03 -
  • Always taste and adjust salt at the end – some everything bagel seasoning blends are saltier than others.
  • For picture-perfect slices, use a mandoline or a super sharp knife on the cucumbers.
