Ingredients

3 medium cucumbers (about 2 1/4 pounds), peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons kosher salt

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream

3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar

Pinch cayenne pepper

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the cucumbers and salt and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. In a colander in the sink, drain and rinse the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water. Set aside to drain for 10 minutes.
  3. Press down on the cucumbers to extract as much liquid as possible. Transfer the cucumbers to a large bowl and mix with the sour cream, dill, vinegar, cayenne, and season with pepper, to taste. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

I LOVED this recipe for its simplicity and taste. Some complaints are that of it being too 'salty', but I had no such problem. First off, do NOT use ordinary table salt, yuck. Use sea salt or kosher salt, there IS a difference...that is one of the ingredients in this recipe, so don't use just any inferior salt! I let the cukes sit for 25 mins. after salting...they you MUST rinse the cukes WELL in a colander after that, a good 30 secs. Then you must set them, still in colander, on top of a bowl to drain further, as directions state, 10 mins more. The texture of the cukes really stood out--crispyand silky, not the usual hard crunchy bite, getting so bored with that. The little bit of sour cream worked nicely with the 3 cukes, I used white wine vinegar b/c that's what I had handy. The dill really makes this dish. My husband and I both enjoyed this dish, and for once, we finished all the cucumber salad!
