CUCUMBER-TOMATO SALAD

CUCUMBER-TOMATO SALAD

Lightweight and refreshing curve friendly salad, excellent with Schnitzels, or deep fried dishes to wash off that extra fat from your digestive tract.

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1 onion –red or white –sliced in rings
2. 2-3 larger kirby cucumbers – very thin sliced, salted and squeezed out from the juices
3. 1 tomato –sliced round
4. black pepper, paprika, salt

DRESSING:

1. 1 cup of cold water
2. 1 tablespoon of sugar
3. 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar

First you’ll make the dressing by mixing the water with the sugar until the sugar has melted completely. Add the vinegar and let it mix together. Don’t add the vinegar before the sugar or else the sugar won’t dissolve!

Slice up your onion and tomato and place them in the bowl with the dressing.

Thinly slice up your kirby cucumbers and let them rest with the salt until the juices start flowing out, about 5 minutes. Thank take them in your hands and bunch after bunch, squeeze out the extra juices above the sink and add it to the rest of the salad, mixing it well. Put some fresh black pepper and a pinch of paprika sprinkled on top, and you’re done!

No need to add extra salt because the cucumbers will still release enough NaCl to tickle your cholesterol. :)
