Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Cucumbers: Choose firm cucumbers for crunch; English cucumbers work beautifully here with their thin skin.
  • Red Onion: A small amount adds zing; soak it in cold water if you want to mellow its sharpness.
  • Cherry Tomatoes: Halved for bursts of sweetness; select ripe ones for the best flavor.
  • Fresh Dill: Use fresh dill whenever possible; it adds an aromatic freshness that dried herbs simply can’t match.
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning: This magical blend packs a punch—feel free to sprinkle generously!
  • Olive Oil: Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for richness; it ties all the flavors together beautifully.
  • Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice brightens the dish; skip bottled juice for optimal flavor.
  • Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings; adjust these according to your taste preferences.
