Ingredients And Substitutions
These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Viral Pepper and Cucumber Salad. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
The base of this salad is made with sweet tri-colored bell peppers. These are the small mini ones, not the large bell peppers. Although, i’m sure both would work!
I used Persian cucumbers for mine, but you can also use regular cucumbers.
For a bit of crunch, add on the chili oil onion crunch from trader joes. If you don’t have a trader joe’s near you, dont worry. Most stores sell it!
What really makes this dish special is the ginger dressing. You can use store bought or homemade, whichever you prefer.
Sprinkle on some Everything But The Bagel Seasoning to finish it off. This adds a savory flavor and a bit of crunch. Again, I get mine at Trader Joe’s, but most stores sell it!
How To Make
ONE: Start by slicing the sweet bell peppers and dicing the cucumbers into bite sized pieces.
TWO: Add the veggies to a bowl and top with the ginger dressing, chili oil crunch and EBTB seasoning. Mix well until each veggie is well coated.
THREE: Serve as it, or enjoy with your favorite meal.
