White Cucumber Salad | Mizeria

Misery. When I get out of a steaming hot shower in the icy heart of winter and frost settles onto my damp neck before I can towel off. When I eat too much food at the fair and go to bed immediately afterwards. When my feet are tired and hot after a long, long day but – for whatever reason – I can’t take my shoes off yet.

When I eat cucumber salad? I feel fresh. Happy. Not exactly miserable.

But misery is the Polish name of this crunchy, creamy cucumber salad made with sour cream, dill, a bit of sugar and a splash of vinegar.

As for whether or not it lives up to its name?

I’ll let you be the judge.

Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced medium thinly
sour cream 1/2- 3/4 cup, to taste
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
2 tsp sugar, or to taste
2 tsp vinegar, or to taste

Method:

Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the instructions.

Toss everything together and serve.

Enjoy the misery.

 

Preferably somewhere miserably beautiful.
