Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4–5 Persian cucumbers, cut into rounds
- 7–8 mini sweet bell peppers, sliced into rings
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into ribbons or small pieces
- 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
Dressing & Seasoning
- 1/4 cup Asian miso ginger dressing (any brand)
- 1 tablespoon chili crunch oil
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for topping if desired
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Add the Persian cucumbers, mini sweet bell peppers, carrots, and thinly sliced shallot to a large mixing bowl, ensuring all vegetables are evenly cut and ready for dressing.
- Add the dressing: Pour the 1/4 cup of Asian miso ginger dressing over the chopped vegetables, then toss gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing.
- Incorporate chili oil and seasoning: Add 1 tablespoon of chili crunch oil and 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning to the salad. Toss everything together to distribute the flavors uniformly.
- Final touches and serving: Optionally top the salad with additional everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor. Serve immediately for a crisp bite, or chill the salad for 1 hour in the refrigerator, then toss again before serving to meld the flavors further.
Notes
- For extra crunch, use fresh Persian cucumbers and peel the carrots if desired.
- Asian miso ginger dressing can be substituted with a similar tangy and savory dressing if unavailable.
- Chilling the salad enhances the flavor melding but is optional if you prefer a fresher, crunchier texture.
- Adjust the amount of chili crunch oil to suit your preferred spice level.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
