Making with the caraway seeds is what makes this recipe different and Swedish! Loved the mixture of ingredients and will make again. My DH loved this and requested it again soon! If he likes it, then it's a go! Thanks for this one FT!

This is a very good recipe. I followed ingredients per recipe but I forgot to put in the parsley. I did not use caraway seeds.

A DIFFERENT and WONDERFUL cucumber salad! I used 2 peeled cucumbers, fresh parsley, 2tsp coarse ground black pepper, sea salt, Splenda Granular, white balsamic vinegar and the optional caraway seeds. I think the parsley and caraway are what make this salad special and it's a great breath freshener! Made for the Holiday Tag game. Thanks for inviting Freddy Cat by for a visit French Tart!
