Pulled Pork Sandwiches w/Cucumber Salad

OK, Its summer, you don't have lots of spare time, its sunny, you want to go swimming or boating or hiking after work, you don't want to spend your evening getting dinner ready. Here is a nice summer favorite, pulled pork and cucumber salad.

1 3lb lean pork roast
1 cup BBQ Sauce
BBQ Seasoning
3 Cucumbers
1 Red Onion
1/2 cup Italian Dressing
2 Roma Tomatoes
8 whole wheat hamburger buns

Put the Pork Roast in a crock pot 6 to 8 hours before dinner, season with bbq seasoning and top with 1/4 cup bbq sauce and put in 1/2 cup of water, put on low heat and cook all day. Also, first thing in the morning, peel and slice into 1/4" pieces the cucumber and onions, put into large plastic storage bag with the Italian dressing and mix then place in refrigerator for the day. When its time to eat, drain excess liquid from pork roast, shred with a couple of forks and mix in remaining bbq sauce. Cut tomatoes into small pieces, toss with cucumber mix in bowl, top the buns with pork mixture and serve with cucumber salad, quick, healthy, summer dinner for the whole family. (by the way, I usually need to make a double batch of the salad because I really like it!)
