Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create noodles from the cucumber. Alternatively, you can slice it into rounds or half-moons.
Place the cucumber noodles on a paper towel and gently press to remove excess moisture.
In a microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese by microwaving for about 12 seconds.
Add the dried cucumber noodles to the bowl with the softened cream cheese.
Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
Toss well to combine, ensuring the cucumber is evenly coated in the creamy dressing.
Plate and serve immediately.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; cream cheese may separate slightly as cucumber releases water.

English cucumbers work best because they have fewer seeds and thinner skins. Regular cucumbers can be substituted but may need to be seeded first.

Absolutely. Dill, garlic powder, onion powder, or lemon pepper seasoning all work well and complement the cool, creamy salad.
No. You can slice the cucumber into ribbons with a vegetable peeler, cut it into thin sticks, or use a mandoline for similar results.
