Dilled Cucumber Salad Recipe

Heart Healthy Recipe Diabetes Recipe Gluten Free Recipe
This cool, refreshing salad is a low-carb variation of a traditional, high-sugar, marinated cucumber salad. Try this fat-free side dish at your next BBQ.

Ingredients

    • 3 large unwaxed Kirby (pickling) cucumbers
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 2 Tbsp sugar
    • few drops hot pepper sauce (optional)
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Preparation

    • Trim ends of cucumber and slice thinly. There should be about two cups. Sprinkle salt over the cucumber slices and allow to stand in a colander while you prepare the other ingredients.
    • In a measuring cup, combine vinegar, water, sugar and pepper sauce. Rinse cucumber slices and drain on paper towels. In a large bowl, toss cucumber and dill together with the dressing.
    • The salad can be served immediately but improves if refrigerated for several hours for the flavors to blend.
