2 tablespoons splenda sugar substitute |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |

Directions:
1. Combine water and sugar in saucepan.
2. Bring to boil over medium high heat; stir in lime juice.
3. Cool then chill.
4. Working in batches, place watermelon in blender or food processor, cover and blend until smooth.
5. Spoon off foam, if desired.
6. Stir diced cucumber, and lime mixture into watermelon purée.
7. Cover and refrigerate until cold.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
