Cucumber Snack 90% Paleo

Cucumbers and dill make a great combination, but this salad is tasty with just cucumbers, too.  Serves 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

·         1 seedless cucumber (long and skinny, slightly bumpy), or 2 American cucumbers

·         3 Tbsp cider or white vinegar

·         1 Tbsp sugar

·         ¼ tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper

·         1 small red onion, sliced and broken into rings (optional)

·         3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, (leaves from 1 lg. stalk) (optional)

Preparation:

Wash the cucumber(s). If you have unwaxed, seedless cucumbers you can leave part or all of the skin on in strips (attractive when sliced), all others should be peeled. Using a mandolin or a food processor with the thin slicer attachment, slice the cucumber very thin.

Place the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a serving bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves completely. Add the cucumber, onion, and dill, if using, and toss well. Marinate for 5 or more minutes and serve.
