- 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Notes
- For extra creaminess, add sliced avocado.
- Crumbled feta cheese adds a delicious salty flavor.
- Add smoked salmon or grilled chicken for extra protein.
- To increase crunch, mix in toasted sunflower seeds or chopped celery.
- Fresh chives or parsley can be used instead of dill.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

- This salad is best served cold and should not be reheated.
