AUTHENTIC POLISH CUCUMBER SALAD (MIZERIA)
Don't let the name deceive you - This is very easy, no misery involved! I love Polish food but it is usually high in salt or fat, so I don't make it very often (unfortunately!). This is a very refreshing side dish, especially during the hot summer months. * You can substitute lemon juice for the vinegar and dried dill for the fresh, if you need to.

Steps:
- 1. Wash and peel the cucumber. Slice into thin/medium-thin slices. Mix in bowl with vinegar, salt and pepper, and chill in fridge for about 2 hours.
- 2. After chilled, drain the cucumbers, and if you don't like the strong vinegar flavor, give them a rinse, too.
- 3. Mix in the sour cream. Chop dill and add that in. Mix well and enjoy! This tastes very fresh and cold and is a great accompaniment to anything off the grill, and also goes so well with baked or mashed potato!
POLISH CUCUMBER SALAD (MIZERIA)
THE BEST. I make this all week long because: it's cheap, simple, delicious, gets raves, and pairs well with so many dishes. I use more lemon juice (1/2 a lemon) as I like it more lemony. Easily doubled - this goes fast! Great with pierogi, golabki etc.

In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, sugar, optional vinegar, and dill until well blended.Refrigerate covered until ready to assemble the salad.Pat cucumbers dry and place in a medium bowl. Add the dressing and toss with the cucumber slices. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.Chill until very cold and sprinkle with additional dill, if desired, before serving.Note: Another popular summertime recipe using cucumbers is Polish cucumber-beet soup. It has a brilliant magenta color and the buttermilk, sour cream and hard-cooked eggs it's made with slakes the thirst. It is often poured into a glass and consumed as a beverage.How Mizeria Got Its NameThe name of this dish is attributed to Queen Bona Sforza, an Italian princess who married Polish King Sigismund I in the 16th century. Homesick for her native Italy where cucumbers were common, every time she ate it, it made her cry. Hence the Polish word for "misery," derived from the Latin.
CUCUMBERS IN SOUR CREAM RECIPE - POLISH MIZERIA
The Polish name for cucumbers in sour cream is "mizeria" literally meaning "misery," referring to the dish being conceived by peasants, who were nicknamed "the miserable ones" by the have-gots! See the legend below. This delightful, cooling salad is anything but "misery." It's a great accompaniment to pork, ham, chicken, fish, just about anything. Choose thin cucumbers with small seeds or the seedless variety. Dress this just before serving so the dish doesn't become watery. That's another reason my family doesn't use vinegar -- it waters down the dressing -- but it's a classic component of the dish.
