Kay’s Swedish Cucumber Salad
x
Print Options
Description
I got this recipe from my neighbor, Kay, a few years ago. It’s one of my favorite ways to eat cucumbers. This clean, crisp salad is, for me, “summer in a bowl.”
Ingredients
- 7 whole Large Unpeeled Cucumbers
- 1 whole Small Onion, Thinly Sliced (optional)
- 6 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Dill (You Can Use Less If You Prefer, And You Can Also Substitute 1 Teaspoon Dried Dill Weed)
- ¾ cups White Or Apple Cider Vinegar ( I Use Cider Vinegar)
Preparation
Score (washed and unpeeled) cucumbers by running the tines of a fork down the sides. Slice them very thin and place them, along with the sliced onions (if using) in a deep bowl. Press down on the cucumbers with the palms of your hands to release some of the juices. Sprinkle with sugar, parsley and dill. Then toss the mixture and pour vinegar over the top. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then press again. Juice should cover cucumbers. Cover and chill well before serving. Serves 4-6.
