A crisp, sweet salad that only takes about 10 minutes to prepare and very low in calories if artificial sweetner is used.
Thankfully we have had unseasonably warm weather where I live which left me yearning for summer, so I made I made what is traditionally more of a summer salad to brighten up lunch.

This is based on a recipe at Recipezaar:

Step 1
How you chop the cucumber and onion is a matter of preference; I usually cut lengthwise half, then each half in half horizontally.
Step 2
Chop up cucumber
Step 3
Chop up onion
Step 4
Open up can of diced tomatoes, drain off excess liquid (I used Fiesta Mexican, which made it have a more hot and spicy flavor, but if you have never made anything like this before, you would probably want to just try plain diced tomatoes.
Step 5
Combine cucumber, onion and tomatoes in large bowl
Step 6
In a separate bowl, add 6 packets of artificial sweetener (or you can use 3 TBSP of sugar)
Step 7
Add 1/2 cup water
Step 8
Add 1/2 cup of vinegar (I used white wine vinegar)
Step 9
Add 1 tsp. of Dill
Step 10
Mix water, vinegar and Dill together to make the dressing
Step 11
Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss until well coated, then refrigerate at least 2 hours (best if left to sit overnight).

Serve with at slotted spoon to drain excess liquid.
