Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium cucumbers
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or stevia (sweetener)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumbers. Slice them thinly into rounds using a knife or mandoline slicer for even slices.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings.
Finely chop the fresh dill, removing any thick stems.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, red onion rings, and chopped dill.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together white vinegar, water, granulated erythritol or stevia, salt, and black pepper until the sweetener and salt dissolve completely.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumber-onion mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled as a side dish or a refreshing snack.
