Instructions

Slice the cucumbers and peppers into even pieces for consistent texture.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and peppers.
Drizzle the ginger salad dressing over the vegetables.
Sprinkle everything-bagel seasoning and drizzle chili oil on top.
Toss gently until all vegetables are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning, dressing, or chili oil as desired.
Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or chill briefly to meld flavors.

Notes

For extra protein, add edamame, chickpeas, or feta cheese.

For a non-spicy version, omit the chili oil.

Feel free to add cherry tomatoes, avocado, or red onion for more flavor.

Try adding fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or mint for extra freshness.

Make your own ginger dressing using olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger, and garlic for a customizable version.
