Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons stevia
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and peel them if desired. Slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline for consistent thickness.
Step 2
Place the cucumber slices in a large bowl and sprinkle them with salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed. Let stand for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Step 3
While the cucumbers are resting, finely chop the fresh dill and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, drain the excess liquid from the cucumbers and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, stevia, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Add the chopped dill and sliced red onions to the bowl with the cucumbers, then pour the dressing over the top.
Step 7
Gently toss the cucumber salad until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately for a fresher taste.
Step 9
Enjoy your sugar-free Gurkensalat as a refreshing side dish or a light snack.
