Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced (peeled and deseeded if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon salt + more to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper + more to taste
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers:
    • Toss the sliced cucumbers with 1 teaspoon of salt in a colander over the sink or a bowl. Let them rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour to draw out excess moisture.
  2. Rinse and Dry:
    • After resting, gently rinse the cucumbers under cold water to remove the salt. Press them down with your hands or pat them dry using paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.
  3. Make the Dressing:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, everything bagel seasoning, white vinegar, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Salad:
    • In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, red onion, and dressing. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Chill and Serve:
    • Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy chilled!

Notes

  • Use English cucumbers for their thin skin and minimal seeds, but feel free to peel and deseed them if preferred.
  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste—add more everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor or reduce the salt if needed.
  • Let the salad rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
