The Viral TikTok Salad
Hot Girl Summer Salad is a filling and easy to make recipe that’s perfect for working into meal plans and more! The recipe was developed by Jayria in an attempt to slim down for summer and she claims it’s what helped her lose and keep off 20lbs. With all the attention it’s getting, I figured it was worth making and trying for myself.
It’s definitely a healthy and flavorful meal idea, and I could see enjoying it for lunches daily. I didn’t see anywhere in the video where a full recipe was shared so I took what I could see and developed from there to create a desirable ratio and flavor balance.
I made this and its delicious, I addeed everything bagel seasoning to mine and used sweet, red, orange, and yellow peppers. Easy and filling. I will make it again for sure!

Ingredients For The Hot Girl Summer Salad
The heart of this summer salad is made with cucumbers, green bell peppers, red onion, and hard boiled eggs. Originally, it uses green bell pepper, but really any bell pepper variety will do. However, I think that using a common American slicing cucumber is the best option for this cucumber salad recipe.
Add-ins like sunflower kernels and pepperoncini peppers give it flavor and crunch.
While the dressing is a mix of Zesty Italian Dressing, paprika, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. You could also just use oil and vinegar or your favorite vinaigrette dressing.
