TikTok Cucumber Salad Dressing (Print Version)

Crisp cucumbers and green onions in a creamy, tangy everything bagel dressing—ready in ten minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced (peel optional)
02 - 2 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced

→ Dressing

03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
04 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
05 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
06 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
07 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
08 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
09 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Seasoning & Garnish

11 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Wash the cucumbers and, if desired, peel them. Thinly slice the cucumbers and slice the green onions. Transfer both to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, rice vinegar, kosher salt and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
03 - Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and green onions. Toss gently with salad tongs or a large spoon until all pieces are evenly coated.
04 - Evenly sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the dressed vegetables and toss lightly to distribute the crunchy seasoning without overworking the cucumbers.
05 - Fold in chopped dill if using. Serve immediately to retain maximum crispness, or chill for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It delivers that deli-craving satisfaction in just ten minutes, minus the bagel-shaped guilt.
  • You can riff on it endlessly—extra veggies, a dollop more of zingy mayo, even sneak in a handful of fresh dill if it’s lurking in your fridge.
02 -
  • If you oversalt the dressing, let the salad chill a bit—cucumbers release liquid and mellow it out, but don't get heavy-handed upfront.
  • Letting the salad sit for ten minutes really does make it taste more unified, instead of like cucumbers with dressing slapped on top.
03 -
  • Pat your cucumbers dry after slicing to keep the dressing from getting watery—it’s a tiny move with big results.
  • Homemade everything bagel seasoning always tastes fresher and lets you control the salt and crunch.
