A delightful and easy-to-make cucumber salad inspired by Scandinavian flavors, perfect for any occasion.
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Using unwaxed cucumbers ensures a better texture and flavor.
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline.
Thin slices allow the dressing to penetrate better, enhancing the flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the salt and sugar, then add the vinegar.
Mix until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved for a balanced dressing.
Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the dressing.
Ensure all cucumber slices are well-coated for uniform flavor.
Transfer the salad to a refrigerator-safe container, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with fresh dill or parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
