Cucumber Onion Salad – My Productive Yard

Cucumber Onion Salad is a superb, refreshing summertime salad. A significant profit is how straightforward it’s to make! It is just 7 substances 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. In case you have ones with large seeds, chances are you’ll need to reduce these out. Both method, thinly sliced cucumbers are the perfect for this recipe, because the liquid can soak into them the perfect.  

We favor our cucumbers largely peeled. I normally “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. Definitely use any onion that you just favor.

I did hold 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.

Should you can afford the carbs and love them, then be happy 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 have some sweetener to chop the acidity of the vinegar. I attempted to essentially 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.

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