vinegar

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Lemon juice provides acidity with a fresh flavor.

Peel the cucumbers, leaving some green for color if desired.

Slice the cucumbers very thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a knife or a mandolin.

Place the sliced cucumbers in a bowl.

Add half of a thinly sliced red onion to the cucumbers.

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of white vinegar over the mixture.

Add 2 teaspoons of sugar substitute (stevia) to the bowl.

Add a pinch of salt to the mixture, considering the cucumbers have already been salted.

Add 1/2 cup of full-fat sour cream to the bowl.

Chop about 2 tablespoons of fresh dill and add it to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Let the salad sit for a while to allow the cucumbers to release moisture and thin out the sour cream.

Give the salad another stir before serving.
