A low carb summer salad of thinly sliced fresh cucumbers, onions, and herbs in a creamy yet light tasting dressing. Ready in minutes, this keto friendly vegetarian side dish is perfect for picnics, BBQs, potlucks, or as part of a low carb dinner.

Equipment

  • salad bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Ingredients
 
 

  • 5 cups cucumber (1 large, or 2 medium) thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion sliced

Dressing

  • cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons dill, fresh chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove the tip and tail of each cucumber and taking your time with a large knife, slice the cucumber into thin disc like slices. Slice the onion into thin quarter slices and add everything to a large salad bowl.

Make the Dressing

  • Add the mayo, sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and parsley to a bowl and combine well. Season to taste.
    I like to make the dressing separately so I can choose how much I want to add but you can make it right in the salad bowl.
  • Add desired amount of dressing to the salad bowl and toss to coat the cucumber and onions.
  • Enjoy and serve!

Notes

Cucumbers vary in size so you may need more or less. I generally very large cucumber (400-500g) 10"-12" in length or 2 medium cucumbers 6"-8" in length. 
The amount of dressing in the recipe will liberally coat 5-6 cups of sliced cucumber
