Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large cucumbers
- 1 medium-sized Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 4 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or other sugar substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumbers. Slice them thinly into rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, water, granulated erythritol, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onions, and fresh dill.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss lightly until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For a more intense flavor, let it marinate for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and taste to adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve chilled.
