Norwegian Cucumber Salad (Agurksalat)
"My DBIL was born in Norway. He will only eat Cucumber Salad that is made the Norwegian way which has with sugar added. It sort of gives it a sweet/sour flavor and is very good! I've eaten it many times at my sister's home. Posted for ZWT 2010. Cooking time is refrigeration time."

Very nice! I like with just a little more sugar, but otherwise followed directions. Yummy! More nibbles~ thanks! Made by a Looney Spoon Phoodie for ZWT#6. -
Thanks for posting this - my Norsk-American family has made this for years and whenever I ask for a recipe, they say they just add things until it is "just so." I've never seen an "english" cuke in the salad - we use whatever's in the garden. My family also uses dill instead of parsley in the recipe, so I made that change, and often we use mild onions sliced long and thin.

Quite good, loved the sweet/sour, but I did add some green onions. Cucumber salad had to have nions! Thanks for posting, Carol! Made for Alphabet soup tag game. -
I love making cucumber salad in the summer. It's a perfect salad a hot summer day, and this recipe is a hit. I made it exactly as directed, and the flavors were perfect! Made for the Whine & Cheese Gang in ZWT6. -
Easy to make with a very nice sweet and sour taste with the kick of pepper. Refreshing! Made for ZWT6.
