Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber, cut into thirds lengthwise, then thinly sliced with a vegetable peeler
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 oz smoked salmon, cut or ripped into small, bite-size pieces
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- ¼ medium red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
- 1 Tbsp capers, drained
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp everything bagel seasoning blend, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Assemble the cucumber salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced English cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, bite-sized smoked salmon pieces, thinly sliced scallion, red onion half moons, drained capers, extra virgin olive oil, and one tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning blend. This mixture creates a vibrant, flavorful base for the salad.
- Toss the salad and serve: Thoroughly toss all the ingredients together to ensure the flavors are well mixed and evenly distributed. Divide the salad evenly between two plates and serve immediately. Add additional everything bagel seasoning on top if desired to enhance the savory crunch.
Notes
- This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the crispness of the cucumber and the texture of smoked salmon.
- Use a vegetable peeler for thin cucumber slices; this adds a delicate texture and makes the salad visually appealing.
- If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onions in cold water for 10 minutes before adding.
- You can substitute capers with finely chopped green olives for a different briny kick.
- For a dairy addition, a sprinkle of crumbled cream cheese or goat cheese pairs well with smoked salmon.
