The salad is a great, light alternatuve to pasta and potato salads, which are often loaded with fat and heavy carbs, but I’ve never heard any meat-eater complain. It’s also a great choice for summer potlucks and barbecues, because without mayonnaise, there’s no risk of spoilage. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 cucumbers
1 red onion
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
salt and pepper
2 -3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 2 -3 tablespoons dill
Directions:
1. Use a food processor with a slicing blade (either 2 or 4 mm) to thinly slice the cucumber and onion. Or use a knife or the slicing side of a box grater to slice as thin as possible.
2. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
3. Pour over vegetables and mix well.
4. This salad can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. In fact, it tastes better after a few hours of marination, cooking time .
5. Serve with a slotted spoon.
