Ingredients

    German cucumbers (1 serves 4 people)
    Vidalia Onion (I medium)
    Turbinado sugar (based on taste (about 1 tsp)
    Nakano Roasted Garlic Rice Vinegar (1C )
    Canola oil (3Tbsp)
    Dill (1Tbsp)
    Splenda if you want it a bit sweeter or instead of sugar but I like to combine.

Directions

I use the german cucumbers (long, thin in plastic) as they don't have wax and have more flavor. Use a mandolin to thinly slice the cucumbers and sweet onion.

Separately, combine and whisk the seasoned rice vinegar (I prefer the roasted garlic by Nakano) add turbinado sugar to taste (or a combo of turbinado and splenda to taste so it helps cut the acidity of the vinegar without being too sweet). Then I add a touch of canola oil (I jar of vinegar to about 1/3C of oil). Add lots of dried or fresh dill, whisk and pour over veggies.

Let sit overnight or do in the morning of the day you will eat. If overnight, you'll want to drain off the excess dressing and save for another day or to refresh leftovers.

My friends all make this now and love it!
