Low Carb Monday – Cucumber Dill Salad

June 20, 2016 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

 

The combination of cucumber and dill is always a winner when it comes to salads.  The zing from the vinegar, with the flavor of the dill, and the hydration from the cucumbers makes this recipe filling and flavorful.  It’s simple to make, has minimal clean up and doesn’t heat up the kitchen over the hot summer months.  Cucumber dill salad is the perfect dish to serve at parties, or as a daily dinner side or random low carb snack!

Ingredients for Cucumber Dill Salad

  • 3/4 cup of fresh dill
  • 2 pounds of cucumber (field cucumbers) – small cucumber are best but either will do
  • 1/2 large onion
  • 4 tablespoons of vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil or XCT oil
  • 1 tsp of sugar, or xylitol
  • Salt to taste

 

Fitness Tips: If you are trying to stay gluten free, white vinegar is almost always made from wheat.  Try substituting this out for apple cider vinegar or something similar. XCT from the “Bulletproof” company is a good alternative to olive oil.  It doesn’t have a flavor so it won’t alter the recipe.  Liquid stevia could also be an option for sweetener, but you will need to add several drops at a time, combine then taste until you get it to your desired sweetness level.

 

Prep Time: 15 mins  / Cook time: 0

Directions

1.  Rinse and chop cucumbers, dill and onions.  Then, add them all to a bowl.
2. Add the vinegar, oil, and your choice of sweetener .  Mix well.
3. Add salt to taste.
Since this recipe changes as it marinates, you may decide to make it ahead of time and allow the flavors to combine as it cools in the fridge.  It’s best served chilled and always tastes more flavorful the next day or after several hours of marinating in the fridge!  I’ll be working on a creamy, vegan version for one of the next articles.  Keep your eyes pealed in the weeks ahead!
