Ingredients

3 cups English cucumber rounds peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/4 cup Red onion (thinly sliced half or quarter-rounds)

Creamy Dressing*

1/2 cup Sour cream
2 tbsp Heavy cream or water (to thin dressing)
2 tbsp White vinegar (or lemon juice)
2 tsp Swerve Granulated (Lakanto Monk Fruit or Besti)
1/2 tsp Grated, fresh garlic (or very fine mince)
2 tbsp Chopped, fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tsp Snipped, fresh chives
1 tsp Chopped, fresh mint (optional)

Instructions

*Variation: Sub 1/2 cup buttermilk for the sour cream, heavy cream and vinegar.

Measure and mix the ingredients for the creamy dressing in order. Let sit while you prepare the cucumbers and onions.
Peel and slice the cucumbers into 1/4 inch rounds and place into a mixing bowl or serving dish. (Peeling cucumbers lowers the carbs.)
Slice the purple onion and add to the mixing bowl or serving dish.
Mix dressing into cucumbers and onions and serve immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours for a better flavor.

To Make Ahead:

Peel and slice the cucumbers and onions and store them in the refrigerator in separate containers. In a separate bowl, mix the dressing. Refrigerate and cover. Store up to 24 hours before use. Mix the cucumber salad ingredients together up to 4 hours before serving.

NOTE: Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours for a better flavor.
