Polish Cucumber Salad {Mizeria}
This simple but delicious Polish Cucumber Salad combines fresh summer cucumbers with Eastern European flavors for a side dish your family is sure to love!
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- vegetable peeler optional
Ingredients
- 1 large English hothouse cucumber You can use a regular garden cucumber as well but you will want to remove some of the seeds in the middle.
- salt
- ⅓ cup sour cream I recommend full fat
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon green onions, minced
- 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
- black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Wash the cucumber then use a peeler to remove the skin. Cut into very thin slices then arrange on a plate and sprinkle with salt. Allow the cucumbers to sit for around 5 minutes to allow the salt to draw out the excess moisture. Then use a paper towel to gently pat the cucumbers dry and set aside. *Don't skip this step as you will end up with a very watery salad.*
- While the cucumbers are sitting, make the dressing by combining sour cream, vinegar, sugar, green onions and dill. Whisk together and season with pepper to taste. *Don't add any salt at this time as the cucumbers will already have absorbed some.*
- Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and mix to combine. Taste and add any additional salt or pepper as you desire. Garnish with fresh dill and serve. Enjoy!
