How to Make Mint Cucumbers

  1. Thinly slice 1 large cucumber (about 2 cups sliced).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the cucumber slices with 1 tablespoon of Splenda (or your preferred sweetener).
  3. Let the cucumber mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the Splenda to slightly soften the cucumbers and draw out some moisture.
  4. Finely chop 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves.
  5. Add the chopped mint to the cucumber mixture and toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later. Delicious served alongside grilled watermelon for a truly summery treat!
