The viral cucumber salad is taking the Internet by storm! This refreshing recipe is incredibly versatile and bursting with flavor. What's more, it only takes 5 minutes to prepare." I added my spin on this Viral recipe, I added my favorite ingredients that I always purchase at Trader Joes.

The Viral Cucumber Salad has taken the internet by storm with its refreshing, tangy, and utterly delightful flavors. This delectable dish has gained widespread attention on social media platforms, food blogs, and dinner tables everywhere. I came across this recipe on Logan Moffitt’s Instagram, and it instantly captivated me. For his version of the viral recipe this is what he used. But what sets this salad apart? Let's explore its origins, the enchanting qualities of its ingredients, and discover how you can easily recreate it in your own kitchen

Logan usually improvises when making his recipes, so I also ended up measuring these ingredients by feel. But for those who prefer exact measurements, here's what I roughly used:

— 1 English cucumber

— 1–2 scallions

— 1 clove of grated garlic

— 1 tablespoon soy sauce

— 1 teaspoon fish sauce

— 1/2–1 teaspoon sesame oil

— 1/2 teaspoon sugar

— A pinch of MSG *(see note below)

— A sprinkle of sesame seeds

When it comes to MSG, a little bit can enhance the flavor significantly. I used approximately 1/8 teaspoon, but even that doesn't feel like the most accurate measurement

One of the groceries stores I absolutely adore going to is Trader Joe's. I am always impressed by their wide variety of fresh produce and unique food items that you never thought you'd want but end up loving. Whenever I visit, I always make sure to pick up their delicious mini cucumbers, creamy Garlic Cucumber Dip, and Vegan Garlic Spread Dip. I've been thinking about creating my own version of the popular viral cucumber salad, with these fantastic products as the main highlights of the recipe.

Creating the Perfect Viral Cucumber Salad:

1.  In a 1-quart lidded container (like a mason jar), add the sliced cucumbers, Tzatziki Creamy Garlic Cucumber Dip, Diced Red Onions, Philadelphia Chives & Onion, Garlic Spread Dip, Mexican Four Cheese blend, and Greek Dressing.

2.  Secure the lid tightly and shake the container vigorously for about 1 minute. This action ensures that all ingredients meld together, coating the cucumber slices evenly.

3. If you prefer a crunchier texture, serve the salad immediately. However, for a deeper infusion of flavors, let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. This waiting period allows the cucumbers to absorb the marinade, enhancing the taste.

 For a salad with a crunchier texture, it's best to serve it right away. But if you want the flavors to really meld together, it's best to let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. During this time, the cucumbers will soak up the marinade, allowing the flavors to develop and enhance the overall taste of the salad.
