I actually made up this recipe during P2, but it's still great during P3! That is, if my kids don't eat them all before I can... DIRECTIONS Slice 2 large or several small cucumbers evenly (break out the mandolin that you put away 2 years ago). Sprinkle slices lightly with salt or your favorite salt alternative. Set aside while you prepare the liquid. In a large Pyrex or other glass bowl/jar place the following items: 1 cup vinegar (good time to get some ACV into you if you stand the stuff) 1 cup water 1 or 2 cloves smashed and chopped garlic 1 large sprig dill 1 thick slice of onion (rings separated) 1/4 - 1/2 tsp mustard seed 1/4 - 1/2 packet of Stevia Dash of cayenne pepper (optional for heat) Teaspoon peppercorns (optional) 1 bay leaf (optional) Microwave the Pyrex bowl about 3 minutes. Then place the cucumber slices in the liquid. Gently swirl the bowl every now and then to make sure all the slices come in contact with the liquid. Cover and let everything combine for at least an hour, but overnight is best. Keep refrigerated. Top slices with your portion of tuna or chopped chicken. Yum! 2 or more Servings
