Cucumber Onion Salad – My Productive Yard

Cucumber Onion Salad is an excellent, refreshing summertime salad. A serious profit is how simple it’s to make! It is just 7 components and a pair of of them are water and salt!

The cucumbers:

The skinny, seedless cucumbers are the nicest ones to make use of if in case you have them. When you’ve got ones with massive seeds, it’s possible you’ll need to minimize these out. Both means, thinly sliced cucumbers are the most effective for this recipe, because the liquid can soak into them the most effective.  

We favor our cucumbers largely peeled. I often “stripe” them, which means largely peel them or go away zebra stripes. That makes them fairly and there isn’t a lot peel for many who aren’t as loopy about it.

The onions:

We favor Vidalia onions, as they’re milder and don’t chunk as a lot as some. Actually use any onion that you just favor.

I did maintain the onion to a minimal within the recipe since they’re the next carb vegetable. Sliced thinly, they nonetheless are very pleasantly all through the salad.

For those who can afford the carbs and love them, then be at liberty so as to add extra if you want.

The sweetener:

I exploit Swerve within the recipe however once more, use what sweetener you want. You can too alter it to how candy you want. You will want some sweetener to chop the acidity of the vinegar. I attempted to actually scale back the sweetener as soon as and that was a mistake. Shew, was it bitter!

If you’re not low carb or Keto; use common sugar.

If you’re Paleo; use coconut sugar, honey or maple syrup.

Remember to heat the water and vinegar combination earlier than including the sweetener so it should dissolve. You don’t need gritty sweetener in your salad.
