Swedish Cucumber and Red Onion Salad with Dill

Reese Summers

Report

Our version of the classic Swedish Cucumber Salad with Dill is fresh, light and full of sweet, tart flavor. We added quick pickled red onions to ours for that beautiful color and light oniony flavor. It's also quick and very easy to make.

Instructions

Boil 4 cups of water in a pot or kettle. Add red onions to a fine meshed sieve and place in the sink. Slowly pour the boiling water over the onions to soften them. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and dill. Stir in the cucumbers and softened onions. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerated up to a day.
