Description:
Mizeria is a traditional Polish cucumber salad made with thinly sliced cucumbers tossed in a tangy, creamy dressing. Light, cooling, and subtly sweet, it’s a fantastic side dish for grilled meats, schnitzel, or summer BBQs.
Origin:
The name “Mizeria” translates to “misery,” ironically named, perhaps, for its simplicity — but it’s anything but miserable! A staple in Polish kitchens for generations, especially in summer when cucumbers are at their peak.
Ingredients (Quantity):
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Optional: 1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
