Low Carb German Style Cucumber Salad

This healthy, fresh salad has
wonderful flavors!
Ingredients:
2 cucumbers**
1 tablespoon sea salt
1/2 of a red onion
1 - 2 cloves garlic
3/4 cup sour cream
4 teaspoons organic apple cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon dried dill
1 1/2 teaspoons Lakanto Classic sweetener (or granulated sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Method:
Line a baking sheet with a clean dish towel. Wash the skin of the cucumbers with water and a vegetable scrubber. Thinly slice and lay in a single layer on the prepared pan. Fold the towel over the first layer and top with the remaining cucumber slices. Let sit for 30 minutes, at room temperature, to allow excess water to be released from the cucumbers. 
Pat the cucumbers with a cloth or paper towel to blot away the released water and place in a large mixing bowl. Cut the 1/2 onion in half and then into thin slices. Add to the bowl with the cucumbers. Mince the garlic and add to the bowl. Stir.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, dill, sweetener, pepper and paprika.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss or mix to coat. Makes 6 (one cup) servings.

** Regular or English cucumbers, with the skin on, may be used.

Note: This delicious cool and creamy salad, or side dish, is perfect to serve with brunch, lunch, dinner or at a backyard barbecue.
