Ingredients

• 1 medium cucumber, sliced 1/8 inch thick
• 3/4 t. salt
• 1/2 c. sour cream
• 3 T. mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
• 2 T. finely chopped fresh dill
• 1 T. white wine vinegar
• 1⁄2 t. white sugar
• 1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper

Steps

1. Place a colander or fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl. Place the cucumbers and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in it; toss to combine. Keep at room temperature for 1 hour.
2. Under running water, rinse the cucumbers, remove all excess salt.
3. Line a work surface with 1 layer of paper towels. Using your hands, remove the cucumbers from the strainer and arrange them in a flat, even layer on the paper towels, top with another layer of paper towels, and gently press to absorb any moisture. Discard the liquid in the bowl and wipe it dry.
