This cucumber salad goes well with just any kind of meal. In Sweden, strong white distilled vinegar is usually used (12%), which gives the cucumber salad the correct sweet-and-sour flavour and a wonderful fresh and refreshing taste.

This was surprisingly good. The kids didn't like the parsley, but my husband and I LOVED it! Great alternative to tossed salad with dinner, very refreshing. I have made this twice in two days and both batches were eaten immediately. Thank you!

I salted the cucumbers & put them in a colander for 20 minutes to get rid of water. Wash off well. I also used dill instead of parsley and added a bit of red onion instead of caraway seeds. Perfect for side dish.
