Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced (English cucumbers preferred)
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry 2 large cucumbers thoroughly. Slice into thin rounds about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick. Use a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 minced garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill. Toss gently to mix.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently but thoroughly to coat all slices.
- Sprinkle 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning over the salad and fold in carefully to avoid crushing cucumbers.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and dressing to thicken.
- Before serving, stir the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, lemon juice, or everything bagel seasoning if desired.
Notes
Use English or Persian cucumbers for best texture. Drain cucumbers well to avoid watery salad. Add everything bagel seasoning last to keep it crunchy. Dressing can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with plant-based alternatives.
