Pickled Cucumber Salad (Agurkesalat)

Submitted by Deantini

"This recipe is a stable in the Nordic kitchen and can be eaten with any cuts of meat or chicken. UPDATE- I should mention that Danes serve the cucumbers in a bowl on the table with the liquid, each person serve themselves and fork out the cucumbers - meaning that the cucumbers are supposed to be eaten without the pickling liquid."

We love pickled cucumbers and this is a super easy recipe. I thick sliced my cukes as that is how we like them. I added some dill and garlic to the brine as our first taste (yesterday) was a bit bland. Worked like a charm. We sometimes do a medley of cukes, tomatoes (quartered), and sliced onion for a mini-salad. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for PRMR

This is a delicious refreshing summer salad. I really enjoyed it. I liked this salad more than ones with mayonnaise or sour cream because it really allows the cucumber flavor to shine and not be covered up. So simple and great! Thanks for posting.

Refreshing and something I'll be keeping in my fridge for those times I just want to nibble on a little something. I subbed chives instead of parsley because it was what was growing in the garden. Thank you Deantini. Made for zwt6 by a fellow Unruly under the Influence

These are so good and they just get better the longer they sit. We had them tonight with some BBQ. They made a really nice addition to our dinner.
