Slice the cucumbers very thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and gently toss to ensure the salt is evenly distributed. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess water.
Finely chop the fresh dill and quarter the red onion, then thinly slice it to create quarter rings.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, fresh dill, lemon juice, powdered erythritol, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
After the cucumbers have released some water, gently squeeze them with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Add the cucumbers and onion rings to the dressing and toss gently to coat the cucumbers and onions with the dressing evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or sweetener if needed.
Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve cold as a refreshing side dish.
