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.
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.
Hold the Dressing (for Now): Adding the dressing too early draws moisture from the cucumbers, making the cucumber salad watery. I recommend adding it 10–15 minutes before serving for maximum flavor and crunch.

Combine 3 cups diced cucumber, 1 cup diced red bell pepper, 1 cup diced orange bell pepper, 1 cup diced yellow bell pepper, and ½ cup diced red onion in a large bowl.
Prepare the ginger dressing by adding 1 tablespoon peeled fresh ginger, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard to a blender or food processor and blending until smooth.
While the blender is on the lowest speed, slowly drizzle in ½ cup olive oil until combined. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Add the dressing to the vegetables and toss to coat. Top with the 1 tablespoon everything but the bagel seasoning and a spoonful or two of chili crisp, if desired, then toss again. You may serve it immediately or let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavor to meld before serving.
