This is another attempt at me trying to find low fat and low calories 'treats' that also pack a bit of flavor. I am a pickles freak so I would pretty much be happy with any cucumber and vinegar combo but I especially like these when I want a more delicate flavor. They are good as a side with dishes like salmon or I even sometimes just put a few on a sandwich when I want some zest without any fat. I make this with Splenda because I really don't want the sugar as I am counting fat and calories.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

13 ounces cucumbers
2 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 cups Splenda granular
1/4 teaspoon dried dill

Directions

1
Slice the cucumber into really thin slices. I use my food processor to do this and it just takes a few seconds.
2
In a bowl combine the white vinegar, Splenda, garlic and dill and just stir until the Splenda is dissolved.
3
Pour wet mixture over the cucumber slices and stir so that the mixture has coated all of the slices.
4
You can eat right away but they are much better if you put them in an air tight container and chill them in the fridge for a few hours (I do them overnight).

Just made this and loved it! Was so easy! If it gets better after marinating a while, I'm going to need some more stars!

Oh My..these are so good. I could eat them all myself. Well, seems like I practically did. The sweet/tart is so awesome together. My first thought was, wow, these are really sweet, but then, no, some tartness comes thru. I think some added onion slices would be perfect to include also So glad I tagged for Veg-n-Swap.

FANTASTIC flavor here. Perfect amt of sweet and garlic with just a hint of vinegar. I loved the fact that this recipe used Splenda and was oil free. DO cut your cucumbers paper thin. I cut mine thin, but not paper thin and after an overnight marinade they were lifeless and limp. You could totally throw in some red pepper flakes for heat if that suits your fancy. THANKS!
