Really no protein in this recipe but if you are further out and are getting in your protein this sounds like a really good side dish. I haven't tried it yet but I love cucumbers and dill so I'm going to have to give this one a whirl! You could probably substitute out the sugar for Splenda if you are really sugar sensitive but for myself I would probably just use the real thing. It would only be like 1 tsp of sugar per serving if even that.
