Easy Quick Pickles (Hölskykurkut)
This Finnish quick pickle is just about the easiest summer recipe you can make. You simply add the ingredients to a jar, shake it vigorously, and wait a few moments for the cucumbers to marinate. That’s it. English cucumbers are traditional in this recipe, but I find that the small, thin-skinned Persian cucumbers are particularly nice. There’s no need to peel them, and they absorb the flavor of the dressing readily.
