✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 3 Cucumbers
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1/4 cup Dill
• 1/2 Lemon
• 1 tsp Sugar

Steps

1. Slice the cucumbers paper-thin — a mandoline earns its keep here.
2. Salt them and rest 15 minutes; the salt draws out water so the dressing stays thick.
3. Squeeze the cucumbers firmly, wringing out every drop.
4. Fold with sour cream, dill, lemon juice, and the pinch of sugar.
5. Chill 10 minutes so the flavors marry.
6. Serve alongside schabowy; mizeria is the cool, creamy counterpoint to everything fried.
