POLISH CUCUMBER AND SOUR CREAM SALAD
This is a traditional polish side salad. Its usually served with chicken or pork escalopes but its delicious served with gulash or any other meat dish. Also it makes a cooling and refreshing end to any spicy dish. For a low fat version replace the sour cream with fat free greek yoghurt and you will get an equally delicious salad.

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.
