German Cucumber Salad (Gurkensalat) 🥒
A refreshing and tangy German cucumber salad, perfect as a low-carb side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 large English or hothouse cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons granular sweetener (or sugar substitute of choice)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Start by preparing your cucumbers. You can peel them partially or completely, as preferred, then trim the ends. Slice each cucumber lengthwise, then use a mandolin or a very sharp knife to get super thin, delicate slices. Transfer these lovely slices to a medium-sized bowl and sprinkle with the fresh dill.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the hot water with your chosen granular sweetener, stirring until it's fully dissolved. Next, stir in the apple cider vinegar. This creates your simple, tangy dressing.
- Gently pour this flavorful dressing over the sliced cucumbers and dill. Ensure the cucumbers are mostly submerged. Cover the bowl securely and pop it into the refrigerator to chill and marinate for at least 8 hours (or even overnight) for the best taste. Give it a stir occasionally if needed. Serve this refreshing salad with tongs or a slotted spoon, and enjoy its vibrant flavors!
