Summary

The salad is a great, light alternative 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!

Servings

6 side-dish servings

Prep Time

0 hours, 15 minutes

Cook Time

0 hours, 0 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • Fresh chopped herbs (dill or oregano work well)
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 2 cucumbers

Instructions

  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. Pour over vegetables and mix well.

  3. Serve with a slotted spoon. This salad can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. In fact, it tastes better after a few hours of marination.
