Cucumber and Onion Mix

My Cabbage Soup post went over so well I thought I'd share another of my favorites. The night before I slice up my cucumber and onion and salt them then cover and set in the refrigerator. I get a really fine slice using the slicer in the picture.

The next day I rinse most of the salt from the cucumber onion mix and add vinegar, fat free sour cream, chives and dill weed to taste.

The mix would look creamier if didn't use fat free sour cream, but my doctor wants me to keep my fat intake down. This mix gets better every day.

Next I'll share a salad that I use the mix with.

Salad for Dinner

This is my favorite salad. The ingredients are Romaine lettuce, my cucumber and onion mix, fat free cottage cheese, fat free Ranch dressing, tomato, tomato juice and green onion.

I chop up the romaine lettuce and add about a 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese.

On top of that I add 1/2 to 1 cup of my cucumber & onion mix.

I top that with the fat free ranch dressing

Next I chop the tomato and add it

Add some tomato juice to taste

and finish with green onions on top.

I like this better than a hot fudge sundae.
