Low Carb Creamy Cucumber Salad

Everyone loves an abundance of cucumbers in their summer gardens, and this is my FAVORITE way to enjoy them! My grandma used to make this all the time, and I have fond memories of watching her whip it up in her kitchen. The hardest part is waiting for it to chill in the fridge! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Equipment

• Mesh Strainer Baskets
• Mixing Bowl
• Ceramic Knives
• Swivel Peeler
• Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
• White Wine Vinegar
• Garlic Powder
• Granulated Swerve Sweetener
• Sir Kensington Avocado Mayo
• Fine Ground Celtic Sea Salt

Ingredients

  

• 1 cucumber peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 small banana shallot peeled and thinly sliced
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 2.8 oz mayonnaise homemade or store-bought
• 2 tsp Swerve® Confectioners Sweetener
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• Handful fresh dill finely chopped (at least 1 TB)

Instructions

 

• Peel and halve the cucumber, then thinly slice. My yield was 11.3 oz of trimmed weight. Place into a bowl along with the peeled and thinly sliced banana shallot (you can also use a small, sweet onion).
  
  
• Add the salt and mix well to evenly coat. Leave in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  
  
• After 30 minutes, transfer the mixture to a sieve or strainer and leave to drain for another 30 minutes. You will be surprised how much excess liquid leeches out.
  
  
• Pour the cucumber/onion mix into a bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
