Everything Cucumber Salad

jump to recipe

Here’s my version of the TikTok cucumber salad, which is simply cucumber salad with any flavor you want. Keep it simple or go wild! For my salad, I went with everything bagel seasoning to add a super pop of flavor and crunch.

Recipe

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok lately, browsing cooking videos as I do from time to time, you’ve seen Logan and the cucumber a day videos. (Let’s go Canadian creators!)

Everyone has made their own version of the cucumber salad and Logan himself has made many more versions like jalapeno popper, sushi, etc.

Here is my version - an everything cucumber salad.

You’ll combine thinly sliced cucumbers (I use a mandoline) with some mayo and everything bagel seasoning. That’s it, so simple!

Make your everything bagel seasoning (no salt!) using my recipe and then make your salad.

Eat it like this as a side dish or take it a step further by making everything cucumber garlic toast.

Ingredients

See the recipe card for exact amounts.

A cucumber, everything bagel seasoning in a bowl, and mayo in a bowl on the white marble counter labeled.

Cucumber: Logan (and everyone else on TikTok) use English cucumbers. I use garden cucumbers because I have a whole bunch of gifted cucumber at the moment.
Everything bagel seasoning: I use my homemade everything bagel seasoning, use that one or whatever one you love.
Mayo: for flavor, fat, and to help everything stick together.

Substitutions

Cucumbers: Use whatever cucumber you want. Persian cucumber would be good too - less moisture.
Mayo: Use vegan mayo to keep the recipe vegan.

Always use the guard for safety when using a mandoline.

Instructions

Prep Tips

This is a no cook recipe.
You can use a mandoline or a knife to cut the cucumber.

Tips for making cucumber salad

If you're not eating the salad right away, I recommend salting the cucumber and letting it sit for 10 minutes. Wipe or rinse the salt and then pat dry. Make the salad.
A mandoline makes slicing uniform, quick, and easy, but for safety, always use the guard! This kitchen tool is very sharp.
Play around with other flavors. I like adding soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds and then making a tuna sushi bowl with the cucumbers, rice, and tuna.

What to serve with everything cucumber salad

Everything cucumber salad pairs well with a lot of dishes. For a weeknight dinner serve it air fryer chicken katsu or gochujang noodles.

For a stay at home lunch pair it with pita and hummus for an easy meal.

Add this recipe on toast for cucumber garlic toast. Great for breakfast, lunch, snack, or appetizers!

Try spicy cucumber salad next.

Storage

I don't recommend storing this salad unless you salt the cucumbers first to draw out some moisture. Cucumber salad can get watery in fridge.

FAQs

Can I make Everything Cucumber Salad ahead of time?

Because cucumbers are 96% water I recommend making this salad shortly before eating it.
