Mini cucumbers: mini snacking cucumbers/Persian cucumbers work best for this recipe. You could also use regular cucumbers and cut them in half before slicing them.

Mini sweet peppers: if you can't find these, substitute with 2-3 bell peppers (red, orange, or yellow) and slice them thinly.

Everything bagel seasoning: this can be found in the seasoning section of most grocery stores. The original version of this recipe uses Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel Seasoning, which you can find in stores or order on Amazon here.

Chili crisp sauce: this can be found in most stores (in the International/Asian aisle) or ordered online. Trader Joe's makes the one used in the original video on TikTok, which you can also order on Amazon here. Momofuku is another popular brand for this.

Ginger dressing: any dressing with ginger will be tasty for this recipe! For example, you could use sesame ginger, miso ginger, or orange ginger dressing. This is the dressing used in the original recipe on TikTok: Ginger Dressing. I use this one, which you can get on Amazon: Sesame Ginger Dressing.
