PRESSED CUCUMBER SALAD (PRESSGURKA)
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!!

Number Of Ingredients 3
Steps:
- Mix sugar and vinegar in a large Mason Jar (or other kinds of jar with cover). Cut the cucumbers with a vegetable peeler into thin slices like ribbons. Place the sliced cucumbers in the jar. Soak and cover for at least 30 minutes before serving. Optional: Before serving, sprinkle some sesame seeds, drizzle some sesame oil for decoration.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers for a more even and consistent texture.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade to slice the cucumbers.
- Be sure to salt the cucumbers and let them drain for at least 30 minutes before assembling the salad. This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs in the salad for added flavor and color. Dill, parsley, and chives are all good choices.
- Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing side dish or appetizer.
Conclusion:
Grammy's Pressgurka is a delicious and refreshing Swedish cucumber salad that is perfect for a summer gathering. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
