Preparation

Step 1

You could eliminate the onion if your not a fan, but red onion does not have such a bite as raw regular onion and adds some pretty color and more crunch to this salad. Fresh dill chopped on top is optional or try adding basil if your not a fan of dill. You could also just toss this with the vinegar alone and call it a day and eliminate the stevia if you would rather not have a sweetness to the salad.

Many cucumbers are bitter and make salads a bit soggy. Using the English cucumber will keep the salad crispier as well as removing the seeds which has most of the bitterness and water in them. I left the skin on the English cucumbers because it’s not waxy like regular cucumbers.  I would personally peel the skin since if you are using regular cucumbers.




Slice the cucumbers lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon or melon ball scooper. Then slice thin. Should be about 5 cups of cucumbers. Place onion and cucumbers in a bowl and toss with salt. Place into a colander and allow to drain fro 20 minutes. Press out liquid, rinse well with cold water. In a serving bowl whisk white wine vinegar and stevia together. Add cucumbers and onion and toss to combine well. Top with fresh dill and lemon. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
