Cucumber Salad, known as okurkovy salat, is a light and refreshing side dish often served with traditional Czech meals. It’s made with thinly sliced cucumbers and a sweet-and-sour dressing that adds a crisp, tangy flavor. As a result, it pairs especially well with rich or fried dishes like schnitzels or fried cheese. In fact, many people serve it as a regular side during lunch or dinner. Whether you’re eating at home, in a school canteen, or at a local restaurant, this salad often appears on the table. Above all, its simple ingredients and fresh taste make it a year-round favorite across the Czech Republic.
