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

# Method Steps:

01 - Wash and dry the cucumber thoroughly, then slice into thick rounds or spears based on preference.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in two minutes flat, making it the ultimate weapon against afternoon cravings without any cooking required.
  • The everything bagel seasoning does all the flavor work, so you get that savory, seeded complexity in every bite.
  • It's so low-calorie and refreshing that you can honestly snack guilt-free straight from the jar.
02 -
  • The cucumber will start releasing water after about 20 minutes, so this is best eaten fresh or within the half-hour window—don't make it and forget about it for hours.
  • If your everything bagel seasoning has a lot of large seeds, they can slide off the cucumber; gently tossing with a tiny bit of oil helps them stick around longer.
03 -
  • Chill your cucumber beforehand—that cold crispness is half the appeal, and room-temperature cucumber tastes disappointingly limp.
  • If you're adding oil, use sesame over olive; it partners better with the everything bagel seasoning and adds a subtle toasted note that feels intentional.
