When it comes to the nutrition information provided for recipes, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s just an estimate. The actual nutritional values can vary based on the specific ingredients and brands you use.

Notes:
  • English cucumbers stay crisp the longest.
  • Garden cucumbers can be peeled if the skins are thick.
  • For extra-crisp cucumbers, lightly salt them for 20–30 minutes, then pat dry before mixing with the dressing.
  • Sprinkle the Everything Bagel seasoning on just before serving for the best texture.
