Cucumber Salad with Balsamic Dressing

Step 1

Trim ends off the cucumbers, and cut into slices about 3/8 inch thick. (I didn’t peel the Persian cucumbers I used. If you have garden cucumbers you could cut some of the peel off to make strips, which would look nice. If you have waxed cucumbers from the grocery store, I would peel them completely.)

Step 2

In small bowl or measuring cup, use whisk to combine mayo, white balsamic vinegar (affiliate link), Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) or sweetener of your choice, lemon juice, and garlic.

Step 3

I would start with the smaller amount of sweetener and taste to see if you want to add more sweetener.

Step 4

Place the cucumbers in serving bowl.

Step 5

Combine cucumbers with dressing, season with sea salt and pepper, and serve.

Step 6

The salad can also be chilled for an hour or two before serving.
