Our Fresh Cucumber Salad is light, crisp, and full of flavor AND bone-building nutrients.
Cucumbers are rich in vitamin C, vitamin K1, potassium, molybdenum, manganese, as well as silica, a vital mineral for collagen cross-linking, bone mineralization, and building and maintaining healthy connective tissue.
This recipe also provides a good source of pectin, which is a type of soluble fiber that helps support a healthy gut.
Give this salad a try with a nice steak, piece of fish, or tofu!
Fresh Cucumber Salad | GF | BoneCoach™ Recipes
SERVES: 4
TOTAL TIME: 10 minutes
Ingredients
2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced
¼ cup thinly sliced red onions
1 ½ tsp sea salt
½ cup whole milk organic plain Greek or Skyr yogurt
½ cup sour cream
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
¼ cup freshly chopped dill
¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
1) In a bowl, mix the cucumbers, red onions, and salt together. Toss and then pour the contents over a colander, suspended over a bowl. Wrap the bowl and colander with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to drain for at least 4 hours or overnight (discard the liquid that collects in the bowl).
2) After at least 4 hours, roll the cucumbers up in paper towels or a kitchen towel and press the towel lightly to remove most of the liquid. Place the cucumbers and yogurt in a large bowl with the sour cream, vinegar, dill, and pepper. Toss well and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
