PRESSED CUCUMBER SALAD (PRESSGURKA)



Pressed Cucumber Salad (Pressgurka) image

Posting for ZWT6 for the Scandinavia region. This was found online for Swedish recipes. Sounds like a great refreshing salad to add to any dinner. Update: 7/21/2011, I made this to go along with dinner the other night. I added some slices of tomato and onion. Due to the fact that I like things tart, I decreased the sugar and a little on the salt, but did also add some garlic salt. I feel this is good recipe for those who like it not so tart, especially kids, but feel free to add other veggies and spices!!

Swedish Pickled Cucumber Salad (Inlagd Gurka) image

I can't think of a family event where these haven't appeared on the table. My Swedish grandmother made these for her family and the tradition continues - it was originally made with without dill - as it's written here - but feel free to add fresh dill - it's yummy both ways!
