Other than salads and slices on sandwiches, I don't know what to

Norwegian Cucumber Salad (Agurksalat)
Use smallish cukes, maybe 50% larger than pickling size. Peel strips
of skin leaving about 1/3 of the skin. Score lightly lengthwise with a
fork. It lets in dressing with thickish slices, and looks pretty in
any case. Slice very thinly... I use the food processor. Cover with
dressing made in these proportions and refrigerate for a bit.
3 cukes
1 smallish medium onion sliced *very* thinly
Dressing
2/3 cup white vinegar
2/3 cup cold water
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Sounds great! For me I would leave out the water until I was sure that I
needed that volume of dressing, otherwise it could be rather watery. Note
that this dressing will draw water out of the cucumbers.
