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!!

Light, quick to throw together, and really tasty--who could ask for more! This was a hit with everyone at our house, even the toddlers. I love that it tasted great just after mixing everything, as many similar recipes call for hours of marinating time. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT 9, Gourmet Goddesses.Reply
