Very good and very easy.
Made this tonight and my family loved it. Only had dried dill and added some sliced red onion. Did sweat some of the water out of the cucumber as Lizscope2 suggested. I will try it with fresh dill next time but think this is a winner!
I have been searching for this recipe for ages! there it is! just popped up in front of me! yahoo!~
My mother used to make this too! It's yummy!
My mother used to make this! To combat the 'watery' problem she put the thinly sliced cukes in a colander and salted them liberally to sweat the water out of them. After 30 mins or so, she would rinse them thoroughly with fresh water and pat them dry before adding the sour cream and other ingredients.
I tried this recipe but the cucumbers make too much water and it becomes too watery. I think it would be best to drain the cucumbers first.
Add some thinly sliced sweet onion to the cucumbers! An excellent addition!

MIZERIA! YUMMY! So delicious, I eat this often, and even add bell peppers and tomatoes in it.
This salad is very popular in Poland! We call it "mizeria" :)
This salad is delicious and easy to make. It smells and tastes just like summer!
