I threw this together in a flash this morning to send to work with Hubs for lunch with his sandwich. I wanted something a little more interesting than simply cucumber spears (not that there's anything wrong with that either). We don't care for "sweet" in salads, so I left out the Splenda. I did substitute lemon juice for the vinegar and olive oil for vegetable oil in a ratio of 3:1 oil to vinegar. I cut my unpeeled English cucumber in small chunks rather than slices, since that would be easier to eat (and help prevent Hubs from slurping drippy cucumber slices on his tie, which he's sometimes prone to do). I used grape tomatoes, which I like for salads as they don't get all mushy as the salad sits. I also added a good amount of fresh dill. I would have liked to have added some chunks of avocado but I knew Hubs wouldn't appreciate that. Since he's off to a couple of meetings this afternoon, I skipped the onion, which he DID appreciate...
