    Cucumber, tomato, mozzarella cheese, vinegar and a little oil. Sometimes I add in beans too.

    Simple and tasty?

    Sliced cucumbers
    Nonfat Greek yogurt
    Fresh dill

    A little yogurt goes a long way. And the dill adds a great, cooling flavor. If you want to go crazy, add some tomatoes and use herbes de Provence instead of dill.

    For 2 small or 1 big serving:

    1 cucumber
    4 Tbsp. low-fat sour cream
    salt, pepper, fresh or dried dill.

    Half cucumber lengthwise and slice the halfs. Mix sour cream with seasoning and add to cucumbers. Let stand for at least 10 minutes. The cucumbers will release some water and you get more yummy sauce for your salad.

    I don't think it qualifies as a salad at all, but one of my favorite snacks is sliced cucumber, lemon, a little salt, and tapatio.
    It might be a little high on solidum for some people, but in all fairness the ice cream man even sells this around here (SoCal).

    Slice hothouse cucumber thiny and add equal parts sushi wine vinegar and water. Add some fresh or dry dill. Let sit while you are making dinner. Irresistible, and fat free. Cucumbers are apparently quite good for protecting the blood brain barrier!

    Cucumbers and tomatoes and a low-cal dressing some people use vinegar too instead of salad dressing

    This is my husband's recipe:

    2-3 large cucumbers peeled and sliced
    1 medium onion sliced

    Blance cucumbers with near boiling hot water and let soak until cool. drain off half the water.

    Add onions and vinegar and wella, you have a great cucumber salad.

    I like to take a large cucumber and peel it. Slice it down the middle long ways and scoop out all of the seeds with a spoon. Then I'll pack the hollow with tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, etc. So good. Makes an awesome light lunch.

    Have a recipe for pickled cucumbers and onions. Will have to wait before posting, though (I need exact measurements on some ingredients).

    We always do the super thin sliced cucumber in vinegar and water, toss in a pinch of salt and white pepper.
