- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or other sugar substitute)

Wash and peel the cucumbers. Slice them thinly into rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.

Step 6
Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss lightly until everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
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.
