TikTok Cucumber Everything Bagel Dressing (Printable format)

Refreshing cucumber and green onion salad with creamy everything bagel dressing—quick, tangy, crunchy.

# 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 as alternative)
04 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
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)

# Directions:

01 - Rinse cucumbers and green onions under cold water. Trim ends of cucumbers and thinly slice them; peel if preferred. Thinly slice green onions and transfer both to a large mixing bowl.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, rice vinegar, kosher salt and black pepper until smooth and homogenous.
03 - Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumbers and green onions. Using salad tongs or a large spoon, toss gently until the vegetables are evenly coated.
04 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the dressed cucumbers and toss lightly to distribute the seasoning without bruising the vegetables.
05 - Adjust seasoning to taste. Garnish with chopped dill if using. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Every forkful delivers that nostalgic bagel shop flavor without any baking fuss.
  • The dressing’s punchy brightness made it an instant go-to snack on lazy afternoons.
02 -
  • If you let the salad sit too long, the cucumbers get watery and lose their crunch.
  • I once skipped the Dijon and realized later it secretly ties all the flavors together.
03 -
  • Toss the salad just before serving so nothing gets soggy, especially on warm days.
  • Homemade everything bagel seasoning lets you control the salt and sesame ratios—I like extra sesame for nuttiness.
