Cucumber Shaker with Bagel (Print Version)

A quick, crunchy cucumber snack with savory bagel seasoning, perfect for light, flavorful bites.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 large English cucumber, chilled (approximately 10.5 ounces)

→ Seasoning

02 - 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
03 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (optional, to taste)
04 - 1 teaspoon olive oil or sesame oil (optional, for richer flavor)
05 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice or rice vinegar (optional, for tang)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Wash and dry the cucumber thoroughly, then slice it into thick rounds or spears according to preference.
02 - Place the cucumber slices in a large jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
03 - Add everything bagel seasoning along with salt, oil, and lemon juice or vinegar if using.
04 - Seal the container tightly and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until the cucumber is evenly coated.
05 - Serve immediately to maintain crunchiness, or refrigerate up to 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's genuinely ready in two minutes, no excuses needed when hunger hits suddenly.
  • The everything bagel seasoning does all the heavy lifting, making ordinary cucumber taste like the best version of itself.
  • You feel virtuous eating something this crisp and light without any guilt.
02 -
  • Wet cucumber is the enemy—pat it dry before anything else or you'll end up with sad, diluted seasoning pooling at the bottom.
  • The everything bagel seasoning contains sesame seeds, which is the whole point but also something to check if anyone has allergies.
03 -
  • Chill your cucumber before slicing—cold vegetables hold their crunch better and feel more refreshing when you bite down.
  • Shake harder than feels necessary; aggressive shaking distributes seasoning evenly and somehow improves the flavor profile more than gentle mixing ever could.
