How To Make austrian cucumber salad
-
Step 1Completely peel the cucumbers and then with a box grater grate into paper thin slices. Grate into a colander over a bowl. Sprinkle the cucumbers with sea salt. Wait about 25 minutes for the cucumbers to "weep".
-
Step 2In the meantime, and in a medium sized bowl, whisk the olive oil vinegar and sweetner together. Adjust to taste. The dressing should be like a sweet vinegarette, more sour than oily.
-
Step 3After the cucumbers have "wept for 25 minutes, take them in your clean hands and squeeze as much moisture out of them as you can. Place the squeezed cucumbers in the bowl with the dressing. Carefully fold together. Dust with dill. Refrigerate til ready to serve. Enjoy!
