Cucumber Salad
[widget:ad_unit-3] Ingredients:
2 small cucumbers, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, seeded and cut into slices
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 packets sugar substitute
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 c scallions, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp. pepper
How to Make It:
Place the cucumbers in a large salad bowl.
In a separate bowl whisk together the vinegar, sugar substitute and salt.
Pour over the top of the cucumbers and toss making sure the cucumbers are covered completely.
Cover and let the cucumbers marinate for 1 hour.
Add the tomatoes and scallions to the cucumber mixture.
Pour in the olive oil and sprinkle in the pepper.
Carefully mix the ingredients together with a rubber spatula.
Refrigerate 1/2 hour before serving.
Allowing the cucumbers to sit in the sugar mixture takes away some of the bitterness in the cucumber. You can adjust the time to suit your taste. The longer they sit the sweeter they become.
