A refreshing and crunchy cucumber salad featuring toasted everything bagel crumbs and a tangy creamy dressing, perfect for easy summer meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 large everything bagels, cut into small ½-inch cubes and toasted
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 medium cucumbers thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). If cucumbers seem watery, sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut 2 everything bagels into small ½-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Toast for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crunchy.
  3. Thinly slice half a small red onion and halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes. Add to the cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
  4. In a smaller bowl, whisk together ½ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss until evenly coated. Fold in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted everything bagel cubes on top to maintain crunch.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

Salt cucumbers and pat dry to avoid sogginess. Toast bagel cubes separately and add just before serving to keep crunch. Use dairy-free yogurt and mayo for vegan version; substitute gluten-free bagels or almond flour breadcrumbs for gluten-free option.
