Mix together a marinade of oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and caraway seeds. Dice the tomatoes, add them to the marinade, and mix well. Add a little more of the cucumber juice, if desired. Slice the spring onions into rings and mix with the tomatoes. Slice or dice the cucumbers and mix in as well. Now cut the Harzer cheese into 1-1.5 cm cubes and distribute evenly (otherwise it will stick together). Mix well with the other salad ingredients and let everything sit for about 1 hour. Serve with crusty farmhouse bread.
