Polish Cucumber Radish Salad – Mizeria
Another dive into Polish recipes as I attempt to recreate all of the recipes of my husband’s childhood. This recipe is a delicious and refreshing treat in summertime when the cucumber plants are going crazy. We have made this recipe over the years with just cucumber, just radishes, or as described here, with a happy balance of both. All variations are delicious!
This recipe is a fairly reduced portion size so that it is suitable for just my husband and I, but it can easily be scaled up and multiplying the recipe by three or four will make it perfect for bringing to your next potluck or family barbecue.

Polish Cucumber Radish Salad
Ingredients
Produce
- 2 cucumbers thinly sliced (peeled if preferred)
- 3-4 radishes thinly sliced
- 1½ Tbsp green onions finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt for cucumber prep (optional)
Dressing
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise preferably homemade, Dukes, or Kewpie
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place cucumber slices in a large colander and sprinkle with salt. Set aside for 15-20 minutes to drain. (Optional, but preferred if you're not serving the salad immediately as the cucumbers will release water into the dressing)
- In a small bowl, whisk together Dressing ingredients.
- Toss produce together in a medium sized bowl, and stir in dressing. Depending on the size of your cucumbers and radishes you may wish to omit some of the dressing so that it doesn't become too heavy.
- Serve chilled as soon as possible.
