Viral TikTok Cucumber and Bell Pepper Salad Recipe

I don’t know what kind of hold cucumbers have on me lately, but I’m obsessed. This cucumber bell pepper salad is crunchy, a little sweet, a little spicy, and totally guilt-free.

How to Make Cucumber Bell Pepper Salad

I love taking a little time at the beginning of the week to chop the veggies and prep this salad. It makes the best grab and go lunch or snack all week long. Add some grilled chicken and warm pita, and you’ve got lunch or a light dinner ready in seconds.

1. Combine: Add the cucumber slices, bell peppers, and red onion to a large bowl.
2. Make the Ginger Dressing: Prepare the dressing by adding the ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and mustard to a blender or food processor and blending until smooth.
3. Add Olive Oil: While the blender is on the lowest speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully combined. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
4. Assemble and Serve: Add the ginger sesame dressing to the vegetables and toss to coat. Top with the everything bagel seasoning and a spoonful or two of chili crisp, if desired. Toss again. You may serve it immediately or let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavor to meld before serving.
