Bell pepper cucumber salad is made with fresh cucumbers, sweet peppers, and a delicious carrot ginger dressing. This crunchy salad is the perfect side salad but is very customizable and can even be made into the main course.
Add the sliced cucumbers and bell peppers to a large bowl. Toss with a few tablespoons of the dressing (start with 3-4 and add more as needed) until well coated.
Season to taste with everything but the bagel seasoning and chili/onion crunch (if using), and any other additional ingredients (see notes below for ideas). Toss again to combine and enjoy.
Notes
Using an English cucumber? Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then cut your slices into half moons so that they’re smaller in size and easier to eat. See the blog post for helpful tips and storage.
