Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream and Dill
To create this creamy, crunchy dish, we looked to the Polish salad known as mizeria, which features cucumbers, sour cream, dill and sometimes red onion. Though it’s not traditional, we also added prepared horseradish for a spicy kick. Be sure to salt the cucumbers first and let them stand for 15 minutes, then squeeze them before dressing to remove excess moisture. This produces a crisp texture and a drier surface to which the dressing and seasonings can adhere. Cool and refreshing, this makes a great accompaniment to seared or roasted salmon or crisp-crusted chicken or pork cutlets.

Absolutely delicious 🤤
Light, refreshing and addictive. This is very delicious. I will be making this again. Loved the horseradish, followed the recommendation did not add too much. It came out perfect. The onions are delicious. Did not add more salt since the cucumbers, onions and horseradish did it for me. Best thing to do before adding salt, just taste it. Thank you milkstreet 🙏🏼

Great, though watch your horse radish!
I had extra hot horse radish and it was a little uncomfortable, tone it down a bit if you do, otherwise a great salad!
