Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large (English or seedless) cucumber
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated Splenda (or another zero-calorie sweetener)
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove, minced garlic
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer for consistent thickness.
In a medium bowl, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated Splenda, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Stir until the sweetener and salt are completely dissolved.
Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. If needed, gently toss the cucumbers to coat them evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For a more intense flavor, marinate overnight.
Before serving, give the cucumbers a quick stir. Serve chilled as a side dish, salad topping, or snack.
