Its simplicity, ease of assembly, and zesty dressing make it a true crowd-pleaser—ideal for gatherings or a healthy, make-ahead snack.

Why You’ll Love This Salad

The magic of this salad lies in its brilliant combination of textures and flavors. Juicy, cooling cucumber meets sweet, snappy peppers—all tossed in a tangy, herb-rich vinaigrette. Besides being visually stunning, this dish keeps well for hours, making it an excellent accompaniment for picnics, potlucks, or a week of healthy lunches.

Prepping Crisp Veggies with Precision

Achieving the perfect, uniform texture for this salad elevates both presentation and mouthfeel. With prep made even easier and safer by a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, you can effortlessly dice cucumbers and peppers for even crunch and flavor throughout every bite.

For best results, use a sharp chef’s knife or your favorite chopper, and slice the cucumbers and peppers into bite-sized pieces. Patting the vegetables dry with a clean towel helps the vinaigrette cling to the veggies instead of watering down the salad.

Mixing the Tangy Vinaigrette

A lively vinaigrette brings the ingredients together. Simply whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, a dash of honey, and fresh dill or parsley. This mixture not only brightens the vegetables but also enhances their natural sweetness.

For an effortless blend, toss everything together in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender for a few seconds, ensuring a smooth and emulsified dressing every time.

Assembling & Serving the Cucumber Sweet Pepper Salad

Combine your prepped vegetables in a large mixing bowl and drizzle over the vinaigrette, tossing gently to coat. If you’re prepping in advance, store the salad in an airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container to keep everything crisp and flavorful.

For transport-friendly lunches or on-the-go snacking, portion the salad into a Bentgo Salad Container: its leak-proof compartments keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to mix and eat.

Presentation Tips

Serve the salad over a disposable Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth for easy cleanup, or spoon onto a platter lined with greens for a festive touch. Enhance with a few fresh herb sprigs or a scattering of feta cheese for extra appeal.
