About Swedish cucumber salad

Swedish Cucumber Salad, or "inlagd gurka," is a refreshing dish rooted in Scandinavian cuisine. Thinly sliced cucumbers are paired with a tangy marinade made of vinegar, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt, often enhanced with fresh dill for added aroma. Sometimes black pepper or mustard seeds are included for subtle warmth. This simple yet flavorful salad is a common side dish, traditionally served alongside meat, fish, or potatoes. Its high water content and minimal use of oils make it hydrating and low in calories, ideal for light meals or snacks. Cucumbers provide a natural source of vitamin K, antioxidants, and hydration, while the vinegar supports digestion and adds a bright flavor. However, some recipes can be higher in sugar or sodium depending on preparation, so moderation is key for those watching their intake. This salad is loved for its balance of crisp textures and sweet-tart flavors.
