Cucumber Shaker with Everything (Printable View)

Crunchy cucumber coated in savory bagel seasoning for a quick, refreshing low-calorie snack.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Vegetables

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

→ Seasoning

02 - 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
03 - ½ 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)

# How To Make It:

01 - Wash and dry the cucumber thoroughly. Slice into thick rounds or spears according to preference.
02 - Place the sliced cucumber into a large jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Add everything bagel seasoning, kosher salt if using, olive or sesame oil if using, and lemon juice or rice vinegar if using.
03 - Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds, ensuring the cucumber is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
04 - Serve immediately for optimal crunch or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

# Best Practices:

01 -
  • It's ready in 2 minutes flat, which means you can satisfy a snack craving without any real effort.
  • The seasoning sticks to the cucumber in the most addictive way, giving you that savory bagel flavor with every bite.
  • It's naturally low-calorie and refreshing, so you can eat guilt-free while still feeling like you're treating yourself.
02 -
  • Don't skip the drying step—moisture is the enemy of seasoning adhesion, and a soggy cucumber defeats the entire purpose of this snack.
  • If you're allergic to sesame, check your everything bagel seasoning blend carefully, because most commercial versions contain sesame seeds as a key ingredient.
03 -
  • Keep your cucumbers chilled before you use them—it makes a surprising difference in how crisp they stay after shaking.
  • Shake with real conviction and energy; a tentative shake won't coat the cucumber evenly, but a vigorous 15-second shake coats everything perfectly.
