Cucumbers and Tomatoes

This is especially good in the summer, when the tomatoes are oh-so-good.


2  cucumbers
1/2  med  sweet onion 
2  tomatoes, cut into large chunks
1/2  cup  white vinegar, or rice vinegar
2  Tbs  water
4  packets  Sweet n' Low sweetener
2  Tbs  sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Peel cukes and cut them into thick (1/4") slices. Quarter the onion and cut into slices. Add to cukes, along with the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine vinegar, water, sweetener, and sugar. Pour over cukes. Cover a marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

Note: 
You can use Equal sweetener, but you may need a bit more of it. Splenda just doesn't work well in this recipe. Also, I prefer the plain old white vinegar. You can bump up the tomatoes and cukes, but the dressing will remain the same amounts given.
