First mix the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and sugar in a small bowl and set a side.
Wash and Peel the Cucumber in alternative stripes ( which gives a nice green and light green pattern).
Cut the peeled cucumber vertically and take out the seeds with spoon . Usually don't take out the seeds, but in this salad, by doing so reduces the water and improves the crunchiness. Cut in the middle vertically and slice horizontally.
Cut the Red onion also in the same lines (make sure you get all the vegetable slices in the same size and shape). Cut the vine riped tomato also into thin slices.
Take a Wide Bowl, first add the sliced cucumbers, onions, followed by tomatoes. Sprinkle the Black Pepper and salt. Pour the dressing mixture in the bowl on top.
Then Top with cilantro and mix all the ingredients well in the bowl. Then top with roughly chopped pecans and dried cranberries.
Transfer this to a colander that sits in a plate or bowl. and set aside for 2 to 3 hours .
