Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Cucumber Salad

I just realized that summer is the perfect season for lazy cooks like me.

With so many delicious fresh fruits and vegetable available, it's easy to eat well with minimal effort.

This simple Weight Watchers cucumber salad recipe is a perfect example. It comes together in less than ten minutes, especially if you have one of these handy dandy hand-held slicers (affiliate link).

It's great on it's own as a low calorie snack. Or, as a side dish for lunch or supper.

Having an assortment of simple salads like this ready and waiting in the fridge make getting dinner on the table a breeze.

Just pull out the salads and serve them with grilled or broiled meat/fish of your choice. And Voila, dinner is done!

Recipe Notes

This easy flavorful WW vegetarian cucumber salad is full of flavor and super low in calories.

I adapted it from a recipe I saw in The Hungry Girl Diet Cookbook (affiliate link), where she calls it Super Sunomono. It's a quick and easy variation of that yummy cucumber salad served in Japanese sushi restaurants.

The only change I made was to use a couple packets of Truvia (affiliate link) instead of sugar to save a few calories. I'm trying to avoid added sugar as much as I can this month.

The longer the cucumbers marinate the better this tastes. I placed mine in a plastic container that I could shake once in a while to coat the cucumbers in the marinade. A ziplock bag with the air squeezed out would work well tool.
