Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced peeled and deseeded if desired
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning divided
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Mandoline or sharp knife
  • Colander
  • Mixing bowls
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Slice cucumbers thinly and place in a colander. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Rinse cucumbers gently and pat very dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and salt.
  3. Whisk together sour cream, 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, vinegar, and black pepper in a bowl.
  4. Combine dried cucumber slices and red onion in a large bowl. Pour dressing over and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning on top. Serve immediately or chill 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use English or Persian cucumbers for fewer seeds and thinner skin.
  • Do not skip the salting step if planning to store leftovers to prevent watery salad.
  • Reserve some seasoning for garnish to maintain crunch and visual appeal.
