Ingredients
- 1 cup Cucumber
- 2 cup Arugula
- 1/2 Red onion
Sauce Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Skyr (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 tbsp Mustard ensure it's sugar-free.
- 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Whole milk to thin the consistency slightly.
- Salt & Pepper to taste.
Instructions
- Thinly slice the onion and let it macerate with a pinch of salt for a few minutes to draw out its moisture.
- Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
- Prepare the dressing by simply whisking the ingredients together until well combined.
- Toss the dressing with the salad until evenly coated.
Notes
- Slice your red onion into thin slivers and let them sit with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes. This softens the "bite" and makes them more digestible.
- I always advise mixing the sauce immediately before serving.
- This salad is the ideal companion for heavier main courses. Whether it's a ribeye steak, a salmon fillet, or a keto "flatbread".
