    Summer in a bowl!  This Keto Cucumber Salad is light, refreshing, and so EASY to make.  It's perfect for meal prep, picnics, cookouts, and potlucks.  {keto, paleo, whole30, dairy free, gluten free}

    I know you guys will have a ton of outdoor events to go to as the weather gets warmer, so I have the perfect low-carb cucumber salad for you.  This Cucumber Salad (keto) is so easy you won't believe it.

    It's light, refreshing, and full of punch from the vinegar.

    I have been dabbling with the keto diet these days because I keep hearing so much about it.  You'll hear more about that in the weeks ahead.  I also like to label all my recipes, so it helps me to understand all the popular diets.

    AND we all know that low carb is the craze these days, so it can't hurt to cut some of those out!

    ingredients for cucumber salad low carb

    This Cucumber Salad is quickly made by thinly slicing the cucumbers.  I used a mandoline to get equal-sized thin slices.  They taste better that way!  I mixed up the dressing with rice vinegar, avocado oil, swerve sweetener, and salt.

    You can substitute granulated sugar if you are not doing Keto.  Swerve is a low-carb, zero-calorie sweetener and can be found at Amazon and some retailers.

    I have been meal prepping this salad, and it tastes even better the next day. The tangy dressing really soaks into the cucumbers.  It will last well in the refrigerator for about 3 days.

    Cucumber Salad is a great match for Grilled Lemon Thyme Chicken or Tender London Broil.  If you need more salads to take to that weekend cookout, try this Greek Pasta Salad or this Watermelon Feta and Cucumber Salad.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Are cucumbers keto? Yes, cucumbers are low in carbs, and you can eat them freely on the keto diet.  
    2. What vegetables can I eat on the keto diet?  You can have vegetables with less than 5 grams of net carbs, like zucchini, spinach, cabbage, asparagus, and kale.
    3. Should I peel the cucumbers? The peel is a bit bitter, but I prefer to keep it on.  It gives a nice texture and adds to the nutritional value of the cucumber.

      I love a fresh cucumber salad in the summer. Loads of dill is a must!

      Karen,
      Cucumbers top all my summer salads, it's one ingredient that I don't miss. Your idea to make to add avocado oil sounds interesting. Great flavours. Thanks for sharing step by step images, they are very helpful.

      Perfect combination of flavors. I didn't have fresh dill so I used a pinch of dried, plus some Mediterranean garlic & herb seasoning (Spice World blend). I also added a touch of freshly ground black pepper. Yummo! I used thick-skinned cucumbers so I might peel next time. Thanks for this quick and super easy recipe!

      Can you use stevia instead of swerve?

        I haven't tried that but I'll bet it would work fine.
