Marinated cucumber salad

 

Instructions

Slice cucumbers thin (mandoline if you’re feeling fancy).

Toss cucumbers + onion in a bowl.

Whisk vinegar, water, oil, sweetener, salt, and pepper.

Pour over cucumbers and toss well.

Chill at least 30 minutes (1–2 hours = chef’s kiss).

Sprinkle dill before serving.

🔥 Flavor Upgrades

Creamy version: Add 2–3 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Asian-style: Rice vinegar + sesame oil + splash of soy sauce.

Spicy: Red pepper flakes or chili crisp.

Garlic lover: 1 small grated clove (trust me).

Keto-crisp: Add ½ tsp xanthan gum to thicken the marinade slightly.

🧊 Pro Tips

Sprinkle cucumbers with a little salt first, rest 10 min, then drain → maximum crunch.

Gets better overnight and keeps 3–4 days in the fridge.

Perfect with grilled meat, keto biscuits, or straight out of the bowl at midnight
