Sweet and Sour Cucumber
Ingredients:
2 English hothouse cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds total), unpeeled, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
... 2 packets Splenda
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Place cucumber slices in colander. Sprinkle with salt; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, for dressing, stir vinegar, dill, splenda, and pepper in large bowl until splenda is dissolved.
Drain cucumbers well; pat dry. Add cucumbers to dressing and stir to blend
Refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours; serve cold
That does sound good.
It is very similar to a fantastic recipe my father in law gave us years ago except that his called for two medium cucumbers with 5 Tbsp White Vinegar (vs the white in your recipe) and 5 Tbsp of oil and a pinch of celery salt. Of course his didn't have splenda either (sugar).
If it is even remotely similar tasting, which it should be short of the oil, this is something that you can eat nearly every day.

Thanks for this.
I am going to use regular cucumbers for this recipe
I make something very similar... it's a wonderful warm-weather, refreshing side dish.
I like to also include thinly sliced onions and red peppers in my salad.
If anyone buys No Sugar Added Pickles (Vlasic, Mt Olive, etc) you can use the juice left in the jar and recycle into this recipe. Add a little salt, pepper, dill and red pepper flakes (if you want a little kick)!!
