Slice the peeled cucumbers as thinly as you can — a mandoline or the peeler itself works well.
💡 The thinner the slices, the silkier the salad.
Toss the slices with the salt and let them sit 5 minutes, then gently press off the released water.
Stir together the sour cream, lemon juice, sugar and dill.
Fold the cucumbers through the dressing and grind over some pepper.
Chill briefly and serve cold alongside anything fried or roasted.
Mizeria's name comes from the Latin for misery, though no one agrees whether it mourned the humble cucumber or a homesick queen. Whatever the story, it has stood beside pork cutlets and new potatoes on Polish tables for generations.
