Thankfully we have had unseasonably warm weather where I live which left me yearning for summer, so I made I made what is traditionally more of a summer salad to brighten up lunch.
This is based on a recipe at Recipezaar:

How you chop the cucumber and onion is a matter of preference; I usually cut lengthwise half, then each half in half horizontally.
2
Chop up cucumber
3
Chop up onion
4
Open up can of diced tomatoes, drain off excess liquid (I used Fiesta Mexican, which made it have a more hot and spicy flavor, but if you have never made anything like this before, you would probably want to just try plain diced tomatoes.
5
Combine cucumber, onion and tomatoes in large bowl
6
In a separate bowl, add 6 packets of artificial sweetener (or you can use 3 TBSP of sugar)
7
Add 1/2 cup water
8
Add 1/2 cup of vinegar (I used white wine vinegar)
9
Add 1 tsp. of Dill
10
Mix water, vinegar and Dill together to make the dressing
11
Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss until well coated, then refrigerate at least 2 hours (best if left to sit overnight).
Serve with at slotted spoon to drain excess liquid.
