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.

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.
