How to Make Authentic Polish Cucumber Salad Mizeria
- Thinly slice 2 pounds of cucumbers.
- Gently toss the cucumbers with 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours) to allow the cucumbers to release excess moisture.
- Drain the cucumbers thoroughly in a colander, pressing gently to remove as much liquid as possible.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (or lemon juice), 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill (or 2 tablespoons dried dill), 1 clove garlic, minced, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add the drained cucumbers to the dressing and gently toss to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This salad tastes even better the next day!
- Serve chilled and enjoy! Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh dill for garnish before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
